Weird Man Kills Girlfriend For Threatening to quit Affair

Roderick Deakin-White who beat his girlfriend to death on April 25 this year has been sentenced to at least 17 years in prison.

Deakin, 38, loved to dress in women’s clothes just like the character in the classic Alfred Hitchcock film, Snaresbrook Crown Court heard. 

His girlfriend Parsons, 34, had told him she was ending the relationship because she could no longer stand him wearing women’s underwear when they had sex. 

But as she got ready to leave their flat in Whitechapel, east London and meet her new boyfriend, he attacked her in the shower with a metal ‘chin up’ bar as she bled to death.

According to her neighbour the victim was found naked in a shower in her own home as a result of brutal attack lasting between two to three minutes.

The first two blows struck the back of her head, but they didn’t kill her. She struggled to defend herself as an unarmed woman from an angry jealous man.

Parson’s family expressed disappointment over the 17 years jail stating the death of Parson and the Jail term are not commensurable.

Sister of the victim Eve Parsons said, ‘We are disappointed with the sentence. Based on what the judge had said, he had agreed with so many of the prosecution’s points, we thought the sentence would be much higher, but 17 years does not do her justice in our opinion.”

Judge John Lafferty said no jail term was adequate enough to compensate the victim and the bereaved family for the loss.

 “On 25 April this year you murdered Amy Parsons in the most horrible, savage and brutal way, the sentence for that is fixed by law, it is life imprisonment.

“There’s no sentence that I can pass on you today that will bring back Amy Parsons, a young, successful, vivacious, kind hearted woman in her mid-thirties whose life was taken by you.

“There’s no sentence that I can pass that can even begin to assist that family with their grieving process or even balance out the grievance that they feel.

“The nature of the killing, it was a brutal sustained attack on a woman, naked in her shower in her own home where she had the right to feel safe. She was therefore particularly vulnerable.” He said.
