Ex-Wife Murdered Over Facebook Posts
A chef has been jailed for life for murdering his ex-wife after she taunted him on Facebook about paying child support.
Adam Mann used a hammer to batter Lisa Beverley, 30, before slashing her neck with a knife, the Old Bailey was told.
Jurors heard Miss Beverley's five-year-old son found her body at their home in Plumstead in south-east London, on the day after the murder in September 2009.
Mann, 29, of Welling, Kent, will have to serve a minimum of 24 years.
'Unimaginable horror'
During the trial the court was told Miss Beverley had no chance of surviving after being hit on the face, head, neck and body.
Jeremy Donne QC, prosecuting, said Miss Beverley's five-year-old son was confronted with a scene of "unimaginable horror" when he found her the next day.
The court heard the couple divorced in 2007 and were involved in a bitter dispute.
Miss Beverley was trying to get Mann to contribute towards raising their son, through the Child Support Agency (CSA). She told the CSA he had lied about being unemployed and he had subsequently been sent a letter demanding payments of about £400.
The day before her death, Miss Beverley's Facebook profile was updated to say: "Now whose laughing? U've got done big time by the CS, so now leave us alone for good, your son hates u and so do I."
Judge Paul Worsley told Mann: "This was a truly dreadful killing."
The judge said Mann had earlier that day been arguing with the CSA.
"You desperately tried to avoid responsibility for your son. I have no doubt you wanted to remove any further claim by removing Lisa Beverley," said the judge. "You have shown no flicker of remorse. I reject the suggestion that there was any degree of provocation."
The court heard the couple divorced in 2007 and were involved in a bitter dispute.
Det Insp Brian Mather, who investigated the murder, said: "This was a dreadful and tragic case and one cannot imagine how Lisa's young son must have felt finding his mother dead under such horrendous circumstances.
"The actions of Mann are indescribable, that he could murder the mother of his son and leave him to discover her body."
