An asylum seeker has been sentenced to a minimum of 29 years with no possibility of parole for stabbing a hotel worker to death at a train station in the West Midlands.
Deng Chol Majek stabbed Rhiannon Skye Whyte, 27, in the head 19 times with a screwdriver, and 23 times in total, in October 2024.
Rhiannon's lifeless body was discovered on the station platform by the crew of a train as it pulled into the station and they alerted the emergency services.
He was caught on CCTV following her from the Park Inn hotel, in Walsall - where he lived and she worked - to Bescot Stadium station.
Majek - aged between 25 and 28 at the time of the murder - was handed a life sentence on Friday at Coventry Crown Court.
