Italian national Danilo Restivo was found guilty in just five hours on Wednesday by a jury at Winchester Crown Court of the murder of Heather Barnett, 48, in 2002.

The 39-year-old was also linked during his trial to the murder of 16-year-old Elisa Claps in Italy in 1993, who was killed using the same “hallmark” method.
