Couple Admits to Murder and Dismemberment of London Woman

Gemma Watts and Steve Sansom face life sentences after pleading guilty to killing Sarah Mayhew and disposing of her remains in a park.

Sarah Mayhew, 38, was murdered in March 2024, and her dismembered remains were discovered in Rowdown Fields, New Addington, south London, in April.
Defendants Gemma Watts, 49, and Steve Sansom, 45, who knew the victim, admitted to murder and perverting the course of justice.
Sansom, previously convicted of murder in the 1990s, used a Facebook account under the name 'Red Rum' and made disturbing posts before the crime.
Watts was linked to the crime scene through phone evidence and denied unrelated charges of possessing indecent images of a child, which will remain on file.
Sentencing for both defendants has been adjourned to January 2025, with life imprisonment being the only possible sentence.
