Man convicted of killing pre-pronounced in bagshot luxury hotel

A person has been found guilty of raping and killing his former fiancé at a luxury hotel of Surrey last year.

The 61 -year -old James Cartright was convicted after a three -and -a -half -week testing in the Guildford Crown Court.

The body of 54 -year -old Samantha Mikaleberg was found last April at the five -star Penihil Park Hotel of the bagshot.

From the exhibitions in Devon, two-two, agreed to live in a twin room with a cartridge because he was told to “don’t want to feel alone” on her birthday.

He called the next morning on 999, claiming that he had discovered the dead next to him on the bed.

A jury unanimously convicted him of murder and rape but acquitted him with controlled or tremendous behavior.

The loved ones of Ms. Mikaleberg cried in the court after the verdict and hugged each other after hearing.

Mr. Justice Murray set the date of sentence for August 8 and told Cartright that he would be sent to custody by then.

Cartright, who did not respond to visually because the jury gave his decisions, thanked the judge before leaving the dock.

During the test, the gamblers were told that they had laid thousands of pounds of thousands of pounds to help resume the assets purchased in early 2023.

He claimed that he owes about 100,000 pounds at the time of his death.

The pair lived together and engaged later that year, in which Cartright proposed on a beach during a holiday.

He told the court that the proposal met with “an immediate and vigor yes” and at that time described their relationship as “extremely cordial and friendly and love”.

But when the Cartright discovered the “highly sexual” messages from the former Micaleberg’s former partner on her phone and later on her laptop, the relationship began to break, about which she faced her.

And although the pair continued to live together till February 2024 and remained physically intimate, they said they no longer trusted it.

After his separation, Cartright began talking to other women on a dating app, stating that his former had “a final farewell to” in the upcoming dinner ” – or” The Last Goodbye “, as he described it in another message.

Without a certain address, the defendant told the court that she was married and divorced three times and had three adult daughters.

Ms. Mikaleberg’s family said in a statement that she was “relieved” “Cartright” finally saw who she really is – a rapist and a killer “.

“Unfortunately, it was too late for our beloved daughter, mother, sister and friend,” he said.

“He was really the best of us, the most kind light and the hole left behind in all our lives is one of the serious magnitude we will not avoid it.”

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) described the Cartaright as a “vicious and deadly attack”, taking advantage of the kindness of Ms. Mikaleberg.

Moses Koroma from CPS said, “The jury directly looked through the claims of the Cartright that all this resulted in falling out of his bed”.

He said, “As soon as he called 999, he started weaving his web of lies, told the police that Samantha had asked him to go back and he was due to getting married a few months later,” he said.

“A very different picture emerged from his relationship with his relationship, Samantha spoke about his life behind the closed doors with friends and family.

“It is concerned that Cartright would be alone for his 60th birthday, he honored his promise to weekend with him – a final selfless acting that he took advantage of.”

A spokesman for the Surrey police said that Cartright “never accepted the responsibility or showed no regrets for what he did”.

“The journey was one last kindness before proceeding with his life,” said Date Inspection Debbie Burch.

“Sadly, the Cartright ensured that she was never able to do so.

“His control and possession meant that he could not bear to let him go.”
