DEAN LOWE FROM MARAZION SENTENCED TO 28 YEARS FOR MURDER OF KIRBY NODEN IN CORNWALL

Dean Lowe, a 33-year-old resident of Marazion in Cornwall, has been handed a severe prison sentence of 28 years after being convicted of the brutal murder of his girlfriend, Kirby Noden. The court proceedings revealed disturbing details about the violent act, which shocked the local community and drew widespread media attention.

According to court records, Lowe committed the murder using a large rock, which was later discovered shattered into five pieces at the crime scene. In addition, he employed a metal pole equipped with three protruding screws to carry out the fatal assault. The brutality of the attack was underscored by the evidence presented during the trial, illustrating a calculated and vicious act of violence.

Prior to the incident, Lowe had made alarming statements on Facebook, where he told relatives that he had 'chopped [her] up and put [her] down the toilet.' These chilling remarks raised concerns about his mental state and intentions. During the trial, Lowe attempted to shift blame by claiming that his girlfriend had set him up, alleging that she had sprayed her own blood on the walls to frame him. However, these claims were dismissed by the court as 'utterly cruel lies.'

Relatives of Kirby Noden became suspicious and contacted the police, which led to Lowe's confession at the flat where he had been residing for several months following the murder. Despite initially admitting to the crime, Lowe later retracted his confession and pleaded not guilty, complicating the legal proceedings. The judge overseeing the case, Mrs Justice Mays, was unequivocal in her condemnation of Lowe’s actions, describing his defense as 'utterly cruel lies.'

The sentencing was marked by a somber tone, with Mrs Justice Mays emphasizing the merciless nature of Lowe’s attack on Ms Noden. She stated that the victim had done nothing to deserve such treatment, highlighting the senselessness of her death. It was also disclosed that Kirby Noden’s body has never been recovered, which prevented her family from giving her a proper funeral. The circumstances of her disposal were described as particularly distressing, adding to the tragedy of the case.

As a result of his conviction, Lowe was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 28 years before he is eligible for parole. The case has left a lasting impact on the community of Marazion and serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of violence and cruelty.
