After a trial that ran for seven weeks with an enlarged panel of 15 jurors, Daniel Blanaru, 37, was sentenced to life in prison yesterday for the murder of his partner Ms Serban, 26, on August 12, 2022.

In a victim impact statement read to the Central Criminal Court by her eldest son at Blanaru's sentencing, Georgeta Serban said: “Now this criminal lives. Yes, he is in prison, but he is doing well.”

“When I saw him last, he looked better than he was before he was caught. He was fatter, better fed, than before he killed the mother of my grandkids.
