Ryan Evans Convicted in Brutal Murder Case of Holly Sanchez

Ryan Evans Convicted in Brutal Murder Case of Holly Sanchez

A controlling and violent man who lied about how his girlfriend sustained fatal injuries to try to evade responsibility for her death has been convicted of murdering her.

Holly Sanchez’s body was found in a property in Crawley on the morning of 13 May 2023, following a 999 call from Ryan Evans, in which he claimed she had been alive when he went to sleep and woke to find her unresponsive.

In an attempt to escape responsibility for what he had done and smear his victim, he falsely claimed in the call that she had taken prescription drugs, had fallen over in town, and then been attacked by strangers.

A post-mortem examination found extensive injuries on her body, including significant brain injuries, so severe that they were consistent either with a car crash, falling from a height, or being attacked. Five of her ribs were fractured, and her left lung was damaged, injuries which led her to develop pneumonia, the cause of her death.
