An asylum seeker has been handed a life sentence with a minimum of 29 years behind bars for the savage murder of a hotel worker at a West Midlands railway station.

Shocking Attack at Bescot Stadium Station

Deng Chol Majek viciously stabbed 27-year-old Rhiannon Skye Whyte 23 times, including 19 brutal blows to the head with a screwdriver. The attack took place in October 2024 at Bescot Stadium station.

CCTV footage revealed Majek trailing Ms Whyte from the Park Inn hotel in Walsall, where he lived and she worked, to the station just before the horrifying assault.
After the brutal stabbing, Majek was seen buying beer, wiping blood from his trousers, and later caught on CCTV dancing in the hotel car park — a chilling display of indifference.

Ms Whyte’s family described Majek as “demonic and inhuman.”

Police confirmed Majek showed no remorse throughout the investigation. He was convicted in October and will now spend at least 29 years behind bars for his horrific crime.
