[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Jaehee] In the UK, a man who murdered two women and stored their bodies in a refrigerator for several years was eventually discovered and sentenced to life imprisonment.


On the 4th (local time), according to BBC and other sources, the Southwark Crown Court in the UK sentenced Jahit Eunice (36) to life imprisonment for brutally assaulting and murdering two women and abandoning their bodies in his home refrigerator for several years.


This case remained undisclosed for years until last April when the police visited Eunice's home in Canning Town, East London, and uncovered the crime.


At the time of the police visit, Eunice was reportedly not at home. The police instinctively suspected something was wrong when they saw the refrigerator locked with a key and flies swarming around it, prompting them to open it.


When they opened the refrigerator, they initially found one body, but later confirmed through X-ray examination that there was another body in the lower part.


Eunice's first victim was Henriette Suzy (32) from Hungary, who was living with Eunice but was reported missing in 2016.


The investigation suggests that Suzy was murdered just before Eunice purchased the refrigerator in November 2016.


The second victim was Mihirikan Mustafa (38), a mother of three children who disappeared after May 2018.


The prosecution stated in court, "The victims were vulnerable individuals living in harsh conditions, such as being homeless or suffering from drug addiction."


Autopsy results confirmed that Eunice brutally assaulted the victims before killing them.


Suzy's skull was severely damaged, and Mustafa's sternum and larynx were broken. Both had multiple fractured ribs.


Eunice denied the crimes. He stated, "I came home to find Suzy dead. I was scared and did not report it, so I stored the body in the refrigerator."

He also claimed that a man who helped him put Suzy's body in the refrigerator later threatened him to put Mustafa's body in as well.


However, after observing the trial for four consecutive weeks, the jury did not accept this claim and, after 16 hours of deliberation, decided to isolate Eunice from society.


Eunice also has a history of being investigated since 2002 for assaulting or raping teenage girls.



Mustafa's elder sister said, "Thank God," and added, "Eunice must never be released from prison." She expressed anger, saying, "He killed two beautiful women without feeling any remorse."
