Iraqi asylum seeker is seen with woman he killed and cut into seven pieces as he is convicted of her murder

This is the moment an amputation-obsessed failed Iraqi asylum seeker is seen with a woman just hours before he brutally murdered her and then dismembered her body.

Azam Mangori, 24, killed Lorraine Cox, 32, in his room above an Exeter kebab shop in September last year.

He cut her body into seven pieces over the course of a week and disposed of her clothing and possessions in bins and woodland.

It is believed Ms Cox could have been suffocated as the T-shirt she had been wearing was found in her mouth.

After murdering Ms Cox, Mangori then used her SIM card in his mobile phone to pretend she was alive and well to family and friends.

They reported her missing to the police before the terrible truth was finally discovered.

Detectives cracked the case after finding CCTV of Ms Cox walking through the city centre at night with a mystery man – who would later be revealed as Mangori.

The footage is the last time Ms Cox would be seen alive.

 

Police later made the grim discovery that Mangori had dismembered Ms Cox’s body before attempting to dispose of it in bin bags.

Following a four-week trial at Exeter Crown Court, Mangori, of no fixed address, was today convicted of murder by a jury after six hours of deliberations.

Prosecutors said a drunken Miss Cox and Mangori had a ‘sexual encounter’ in an alleyway before they went back to his flat above the Bodrum Kebab House.

Her whereabouts remained a mystery to her family for a week until Mangori – a failed asylum seeker from Iraq liable to deportation – was arrested by detectives.
