Vikramgit Singh murdered Gemma Dorman after a campaign of harassment.

24 year old Gemma had been planning a new life in Spain with her fiance.

In July 2008 she was having dinner in Lavender Hill when she went out to get cash it was then that Singh attacked her with a large kitchen knife.

Jurors at the Old Bailey heard he was "infatuated" with Miss Dorman and paid £200 to have a large heart-shaped tattoo with her name in it on his back.

Two months before the murder, she had told police he was stalking her and bombarding her with hundreds of text messages.

The 26 year old from Southall will serve a minimum of 20 years in prison.
