GUILTY UK - Phoenix Netts, 28, found in suitcase, Gloucestershire, 12 May 2020

[Alyce]

Following her plea, the Crown Prosecution Service said Gordon had murdered the former student in the shared accommodation property where they both lived in Lozells.

Gordon then carried out a series of 'detailed, organised actions' to suggest that Ms Netts was alive, while taking steps to dispose of her body.

She contacted friends and family of the victim by messages, emails and sometimes voicecalls, pretending to be her and indicating that she was leaving the address and moving to London.

She also bought a circular saw to dismember the victim's body and made several visits to the Coleford area - where Ms Netts' body was discovered - before her arrest on May 12.

Phoenix Netts murder: Gareeca Gordon jailed for 23 years | Daily Mail Online


Bodycam footage captures police confronting Gordon near Coleford in the Forest of Dean at about 11pm on May 12 last year, with officers finding her beside a quarry late at night. Nearby were two large suitcases.

Gordon tries to delay officers from opening the bags as they warn her she faces being 'arrested for obstruction' in the clip, released by West Midlands Police.

Gordon is heard saying: 'I don't want to stop you guys', to which police say 'you are stopping us' as they guide her away from the case.

Police block Gordon's path as one officer opens the bag. A sharp exhale of breath is heard before the officer exclaimed what the f,.......

how very sad, Phoenix lived a troubled life and sadly that was why it ultimately ended.
I read that the murderer was forced into sex slavery and Phoenix was raped previously, that's why they were both at the refuge. I guess she thought she was safe there...

Phoenix Netts' killer showed 'no remorse' after being caught

Comments in bold from the police in the above article that I haven't seen reported elsewhere.

"She was unhelpful to police from the start saying 'no comment' to questions, and even after pleading guilty to murder she hasn't come clean.

"After the murder people described her actions as being carefree, showing no signs of stress or the behaviour you might expect from someone who had killed someone in this way."

"She had no previous convictions which we were surprised about given the nature of this shocking murder.

"This was a case which shocked hardened officers. The discovery of Phoenix's body dismembered in the suitcases was truly horrific."

''Police have shared a harrowing video showing the moment Gareeca Gordon was arrested as officers found a dismembered body in two suitcases. Officers from Gloucestershire Constabulary made the grim discovery after responding to reports of a suspicious car in the Coleford area on the evening of May 12. The man in the car was spoken to as officers had checked the registration details and determined it was registered to a house in Wolverhampton. Gordon, 28, was jailed for life with a minimum term of 23 and a half years today (4 May) after stabbing Phoenix four times at a Birmingham refuge where they both lived on April 16 last year. A hearing at Bristol Crown Court was told that the university graduate told Gordon she wanted to move back to London before the knife attack.'''
