The murderer was sentenced to life imprisonment.
In the UK, Robert Richens has been sentenced for the brutal murder of his ex-girlfriend. According to Thames Valley Police, the 35-year-old man was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 16 years. The decision was announced on February 6, 2026, at Oxford Crown Court.
Richens was arrested last year after the murder of his former partner, Rachel Vaughan. According to the investigation, on the morning of May 30, he himself called the emergency services and stated that he "accidentally killed a person". However, the investigation revealed that the woman was the victim of a prolonged and brutal attack, which resulted in her death at the scene.
Recently, footage taken by police officers at the time of Richens' arrest has been circulating on social media. The video quickly went viral due to a strange detail: while in handcuffs, the man burst into tears and stated that he would "miss GTA". When asked by one of the officers which part he meant, Richens replied: "The sixth one".
