James Cartwright: Man jailed for raping and murdering ex-fiancee at luxury Surrey hotel

SURREY, ENGLAND, AUG 8 – James Cartwright was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum of 28 years after raping and murdering his ex-fiancée, described by prosecutors as a "vicious and murderous attack."

  • James Cartwright, 61, was sentenced to a minimum of 28 years in prison after being found guilty of raping and murdering his ex-fiancée Samantha Mickleburgh, 54, at a luxury Surrey hotel last April.
  • Cartwright phoned emergency services the next morning, claiming he discovered Ms Mickleburgh dead beside him in bed, but the prosecution said he staged the scene to appear they had consensual sex.
  • Ms Mickleburgh's family called Cartwright an 'evil, controlling, manipulative predator', and the judge said her family 'suffer a grief that those who have not experienced it cannot imagine'.
