A woman murdered a vulnerable female neighbour who had turned down her demands for sex before dismembering her body with a circular saw and attempting to burn the remains in a forest.
Gareeca Gordon, 28, stabbed her friend Phoenix Netts, also 28, in a shared property run by a service that works with homeless people in Birmingham.
As she disposed of her remains over the next month, Gordon tried to cover up her crime by sending texts, emails and voice messages purporting to be from the dead woman to her family and friends.
Her mother said Gordon had suffered traumas in her life but added: “Gareeca is not a bad person at heart.”
