In a case that has shocked and saddened the community of Derbyshire, 36-year-old Darren Hall has been sentenced to life imprisonment, with a minimum term of 17 years, for the murder of his ex-partner, Sarah Henshaw, 31. The sentence was handed down at Derby Crown Court after a two-week trial that ended with Hall’s conviction last Friday.

The court heard that on June 20, during an argument at Henshaw’s home in Ilkeston, Hall attacked and killed her. Six days later, her body was found dumped in woodland near a motorway layby outside Chesterfield, Derbyshire, approximately 20 miles from her home. Evidence presented at the trial suggested that Hall had “almost certainly strangled” Henshaw to death, possibly using a dressing gown cord.
