A British businessman has been jailed for 20 years for bludgeoning his wealthy girlfriend to death in a luxury French hotel.
Ian Griffin, 45, was found guilty of killing Kinga Legg, 36, a Polish-born millionaire, at the Bristol Hotel in 2009.
Her naked body was found lying in a three-quarters filled bath in the blood-stained suite.
The trial has heard that Ms Legg died of internal bleeding and was found in the blood-spattered room with multiple injuries and more than 100 marks on her body.
Griffin denies murder, telling the court that he blacked out after arguing with his partner at a restaurant earlier in the evening when she told him: "You owe me sex."
Today's events are the culmination of a protracted legal process that began more than five years ago when a European arrest warrant was issued for Griffin after a maid found the body.
He claimed he woke up the next day with no recollection of what had happened and found the room in a chaotic state before discovering Ms Legg's body.
Griffin is said to have fled in his Porsche 911, which was later recovered at an address in Warrington, Cheshire, where he grew up.
He was arrested several days after the warrant was issued, in woodland in Macclesfield.
Griffin, who previously owned tanning salons and gadget shops, was told he would be extradited from the UK to face trial in December 2010.
He lived in a mansion in Surrey with Ms Legg, who made her fortune running her family business Vegex, which supplied tomatoes to British supermarkets.
After the sentence, Ms Legg's brother Marek Wolf said: "I need to say it was the correct verdict and decision.
"I'm glad that after three years the trial is finished but nobody can give me or my parents my sister back."
Ms Baker declined to comment as she left the court, which sat well into the evening to reach a decision.
Presiding judge Didier Safar said the jury decided that Griffin should not benefit from a law saying that a defendant is not liable for his acts because of a "psychological disorder".
However, they did say his level of responsibly was "changed" by his mental state.
