David Xavier, 38, has been found guilty of the murder of his partner, Andreia Guilherme, after a “jealous and angry” attack in their home in Croydon, south London. The harrowing incident occurred in December 2020, following a heated argument when Ms Guilherme tried to end their relationship.
During the trial at the Old Bailey, the court heard that in the lead-up to the attack, the defendant had become increasingly jealous and angry. Ms Guilherme sent voice notes and messages to her friends and family, expressing her fear and concern for her safety.
