Carl Cooper, 66, was in a relationship with Naomi Hunte, 41, who was stabbed to death, and Fiona Holm, 48, whose body has never been found. Hunte was found dead on her blood-soaked sofa with a stab wound to the chest and Holm disappeared on 20 June last year. A jury at Woolwich Crown Court found the defendant guilty of two counts of murder after three days of deliberations.
Jailing Cooper for life with a 35-year minimum term yesterday, Mr Justice Johnson said: “I am sure that you, over many years, have been a great danger to women.” The judge added: “You have a history of acting in a controlling and coercive manner to your female partners. Ms Hunte had made previous complaints to police about your controlling coercive behaviour. Ms Holm had also made a previous complaint to police about your behaviour, she had also complained to friends that you had stabbed her with a screwdriver.”
