Caged Fighter

35yrs for brute who kicked lover to death over affair with teen

- Jeremy Armstrong

A CAGE fighter convicted of murdering his ex-girlfriend and trying to kill her 15-year-old lover was jailed for life yesterday.

Paul Robson, 50, used his steel-capped boots as a lethal weapon when he stamped on Caroline Kayll, 47, to inflict catastrophic brain injuries.

The ex-convict also tried to murder her teenage lover with a meat cleaver.

He blackmailed Ms Kayll out of £29,000 in the days before the murder, threatening to expose her illegal relationship with the boy, who cannot be identified.

Robson, who had 21 previous convictions, had tried to cover his tracks by disposing of evidence – including the boots – and blamed the 15-year old for the murder at Caroline’s home.
