CLUBBER Chloe Miazek was choked to death by rough sex pervert Mark bruce during a kinky romp two hours after meeting him at a bus stop.

The 20-year-old died in seconds when Bruce, 32, who yesterday pleaded guilty to culpable homicide, strangled her as they had sex at his flat.

A KILLER who strangled a young woman to death while they had sex is facing years in jail.

Mark Bruce, 32, met 20-year-old Chloe Miazek at a bus stop in the early hours of November 3 after both had left separate nights out.

And two hours later, she died at his hands when he choked her while they had sex at his flat in Rosemount Viaduct, Aberdeen. Chloe, from Kemnay in Aberdeensh­ire, had been drinking with friends in the city before being thrown out of a nightclub because of her level of intoxicati­on.

She walked to a bus stop where Bruce, who had also been drinking heavily, arrived just moments after leaving a nearby pub.

They struck up a conversati­on before heading to his flat. The High Court in Aberdeen heard they had a shared interest in “erotic asphyxatio­n” – and that Chloe died in seconds after Bruce seized her neck during sex.

Hours later, Bruce was seen on CCTV leaving his flat and wandering the streets for over an hour.

He then walked to Rosemount police station where he buzzed an intercom and said: “I’ve done something terrible.”

Jo McDonald, prosecutin­g, said an officer asked him to clarify and he said: “I’ve killed someone. There’s a female in my bed.”

She said: “His explanatio­n is he placed his hands around her neck during sexual intercours­e and the evidence is consistent with that.

“Evidence suggests death is likely to have been quick – seconds rather than minutes. The extent of injuries suggested not much force being used.

“During a medical examinatio­n, the accused indicated to the doctor they had had intercours­e around 3.30am and the forensic findings confirm that.”

Bruce, a prisoner at HMP Barlinnie, originally faced a charge of murder. Yesterday, he pled guilty to culpable homicide.

His lawyer Brian McConnachi­e QC said: “Evidence has been disclosed to the defence from a previous partner that sexual asphyxiati­on was something Miss Miazek was interesed in. Her former partner always declined.

“I don’t wish to sound like I’m suggesting she was the author of her own misfortune but it is a significan­t factor.

“The accused can’t recall the specifics of what went on but it seems that they had something of a shared interest in that particular practice.

“He recalls that all of a sudden it changed from everything being all right to her being dead.

“It is accepted by the Crown that there was no intention to kill and no wicked recklessne­ss to suggest a murderous purpose.”

Judge Lord Kinclaven deferred sentence until April 5 at the High Court in Edinburgh and remanded Bruce in custody meantime.

In a statement released through police after Chloe’s death, her family said her killing was hard to understand.

They said: “We are absolutely devastated following the death of our beautiful daughter and sister.

“Chloe was in the prime of her life and had so much to look forward to and it is difficult for us to comprehend that she is not here with us today.

“Chloe was a loving daughter to Bob and Theresa, sister to Nathan and friend to many, including at her work at Tesco in Inverurie.

“She will be sorely missed and we ask for privacy as we try to come to terms with her death.”

I’ve done something terrible. I’ve killed someone. There’s a female in my bed
