Judge Wins the Captain Obvious Award

Mr Pownall asked: 'Who else could it have been if it wasn't you?' and Boudjenane replied: 'I can't remember.'

Mr Pownall asked if he used that cleaver to cut his head off, but Boudjenane said: 'I don't know.'

Judge Moss told him: 'I have no doubt on the evidence that you intended to kill him. Thereafter, you insulted his dead body by mutilation. You decapitated his body and tried to dismember him.

'You disposed of the head and body in an attempt as I find to avoid capture. You are, it seems to me, a very dangerous individual.'

The judge then proceeded to cut 6 years off of his life sentence.  Dangerous.  But not that dangerous.

Boudjenane met the 42-year-old Filipina nanny at a party a few months before the attack, the Old Bailey heard at the original trial.

She worked in Oxford but on February 3 ran into him outside a newsagents in Kilburn, and reluctantly agreed to go to his flat.

He double locked the front door, tied her up with shoelaces and shaved off her hair, raping her twice.

The court heard Boudjenane threatened to kill her by putting her in a tub of boiling water and also accused her of being a prostitute and having sex with 'the man upstairs' - Mr Ouyahia.

But he let her go the next day after she repeatedly promised to become a Muslim to marry him.

He went to Sainsbury's at around 8pm to buy bleach, Dettol and a mop as he plotted to kill Mr Ouyahia, and was next seen boarding a bus carrying a 'head-shaped' bag on February 5.
