Woman who killed her lover and hid his body in a bin jailed Otmani had been talking about getting rid of her on-off lover and had even asked another boyfriend to experiment with some blue liquid to see if it would knock him out. Bobbie Cheema, prosecuting, told the jury: "When she began to speak about killing Mr Corey, he did not take it seriously." Mr Corey was heard arguing with Otmani in her bedroom before they were joined by Beddoe, 60, whom she called Uncle. New boyfriend Keith Jones rang police after visiting the flat and being told "He's in there." Miss Cheema said: "She said she'd measured her freezer but it was too small and she needed to get another freezer." The court heard that Otmani told officers: "I killed him. He freaked me out and I killed him. Judge Gerald Gordon told Otmani: "For reasons best known to yourself, you formed the intention to kill your on-off partner. You concealed his body for a significant period, causing extra suffering for his family. I accept you have a personality disorder as a result of a troubled early life but I am equally satisfied your are a manipulative person capable of being forceful, devious and aggressive. Mother-of-two Otmani wore a pink top in the dock. She showed no emotion but thanked the judge after she was sentenced. Beddoe, of Brockley, south London, was found guilty of assisting an offender and was remanded for reports to December 7. During the trial the mother of two claimed she had not wanted to kill him and when she was cutting him loose "he was shouting, he wouldn't stop shouting. I just found myself on the bed on top of him with a pillow over his face. She kept him in the bin because "I didn't want him to go anywhere. I wanted to keep him with me and I was going to look after him. I was talking to him as I put him in the box. I told him 'I'm sorry' and I said 'If you want to stay with me you have to stay in the box, I'm sorry.' But four days after she had murdered Mr Corey, Mr Jones, a new boyfriend, was taken to her bedroom and asked whether he could smell anything before Otmani pointed to a stack of boxes covered in blankets. She then said she had hidden Mr Corey inside one and asked if Mr Jones could smell anything. She added she had measured her freezer but it was too small and she needed to get another freezer. Otmani later confessed to Mr Jones that she had drugged Mr Corey's beer, taken him downstairs to her room and tied him to the bed. She then called Beddoe, and when Mr Corey started to wake up she placed a plastic bag over his head. Otmani had asked Mr Jones to take the box away and bury it in his garden but he refused. He eventually went to the police who, after one failed search, returned and found the body in a bin, sealed around the top with a thick layer of tape. On her arrest Otmani told officers "I killed him. The court heard how Otmani had considered leaving Corey's body to rot and then grinding up his bones up and sprinkling them across the country. Otmani claimed she suffered from 'battered woman syndrome' after years of abusive relationships and lost self control. But the court heard psychologists said she was a "forceful and controlling personality" who had Beddoe under her thumb. Mr Corey's family including his mother and sisters from Lancashire sat in court as Otmani was jailed. Mother Joyce Townsend said in a victim impact statement that the loss of her son so suddenly was "such a terrible shock. The fact I was not able to see my son after he died and say goodbye to the son I loved and adored left me with such an empty feeling.
