Leon Murray, serving a life sentence for murdering Keisha Christodoulou, stabbed her 17 times after she expressed a desire to break up. Following the murder, he picked up their daughter from school, telling staff he had 'ended' Keisha. Murray was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 20 years but appealed for a shorter sentence, claiming he was a good father and had no prior violence. His appeal was rejected, with the court highlighting the shocking nature of the attack and its impact on Keisha's children and family.
Murray stabbed Keisha Christodoulou 17 times at their home after she announced her intention to end their 13-year relationship in October 2022.
After the murder, Murray changed his clothes and picked up their six-year-old daughter, leading school staff to report the incident to authorities with his chilling statement: 'it is done'.
Murray argued in his appeal for a shorter sentence that he was a good father and had not been previously violent in the relationship, but this was rejected by judges.
Detective Inspector Adam Clifton condemned Murray's murderous act as horrific and selfish, emphasizing the lasting impact on Keisha's three children and her family.
