A barman has been jailed for life for murdering his French film producer ex-girlfriend before burying her in a shallow grave.

Kirill Belorusov, 32, strangled Laureline Garcia-Bertaux, 34, to death before going shopping for tools to dispose of her body.

She was found naked, bound and wrapped in bin bags in a flower bed in her garden in Kew, south-west London, a day after friends reported her missing on March 5.

Belorusov was branded a “cruel and heartless fraud” as he was jailed for life at the Old Bailey on Friday, with a minimum term of 24 years.
