PAUL HEMMING MURDERS NATALIE IN MILTON KEYNES AFTER DISCOVERING HER AFFAIR

Paul Hemming, a 43-year-old man from Milton Keynes, was convicted of the brutal murder of his partner, Natalie Hemming, in their shared home. The tragic incident unfolded in the early hours when Hemming, driven by intense feelings of jealousy and rage upon discovering that Natalie was having an affair, lost control and launched a violent attack. He assaulted her within the confines of their living room while their children slept upstairs, unaware of the deadly violence taking place just meters away.

Hemming’s actions resulted in her death, and he was subsequently brought to trial at Luton Crown Court. The court found him guilty of murder and sentenced him to life imprisonment, with a minimum term of 20 years before he could be eligible for parole. During the proceedings, Hemming admitted to manslaughter but insisted that he never intended to kill Natalie or cause her serious injury. The prosecution, however, argued that her death was the result of a fit of uncontrollable rage and jealousy, especially after Hemming learned of her infidelity and her plans to leave him along with their children.

Judge Richard Foster was highly critical of Hemming’s conduct following the murder. He pointed out Hemming’s apparent lack of remorse, highlighting how he attempted to conceal the crime and lied about the circumstances surrounding her death. Evidence presented during the trial revealed that Hemming had earlier removed Natalie’s naked body from their house in the early hours, placing her in the boot of his car. He then drove approximately 30 miles to a woodland area where he dumped her body, attempting to hide the crime.

Hemming’s account of her death involved an incident where he claimed to have thrown a heavy ornament, which accidentally struck her head. However, this explanation was rejected by the court, which concluded that Hemming murdered Natalie out of jealousy and rage. The judge described Hemming as an individual who was “overbearing, controlling, jealous, and violent,” emphasizing the dangerous nature of his character. As a result, Hemming was sentenced to serve a minimum of 20 years in prison before he could be considered for parole, reflecting the severity of his crime and the court’s condemnation of his actions.
