S&M killer tycoon faces jail

He admits manslaughter of his lover, 26, after ‘rough sex’

A MILLIONAIRE faces jail for killing his young lover during an S&M sex session.

John Broadhurst, 40, found Natalie Connolly, 26, seminaked, dead at the foot of the stairs the morning after they had booze-fuelled “rough sex”.

She had 40 separate injuries, including wounds to her head and genital area. A pathologist recorded the cause of death as “acute alcohol intoxication and blunt force injuries”.

The couple had watched West Brom at home against Manchester United the day before mum-of-one Natalie was found dead in December 2016.

In a 999 call the next day, dad-of-three Broadhurst, a property developer, said: “I think she’s probably dead. We had been drinking. She’s lying on the floor.”

Broadhurst, of Wolverley, Worcs, denied murder, but prosecutors accepted his guilty plea to manslaughter through gross negligence.

At Birmingham crown court, the judge warned him he faces a lengthy jail term. DIED Natalie and Broadhurst
