Killer thought he got away with partner's murder...so struck again one year later

A SERIAL domestic abuser who murdered two partners just a year apart has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 35 years.

Carl Cooper, 66, stabbed Naomi Hunte, 41, to death following a Valentine's Day bust-up in 2022.

Cooper was arrested as an "obvious suspect" but denied killing Ms Hunte and was released on bail.

The self-employed handyman then struck up a relationship with Fiona Holm, 48, before she disappeared in June 2023.
