Woman beheaded in Tenerife was retired grandma from Norwich | Mail Online see pictures
grandmother beheaded by a maniac in Tenerife feared she was being followed and took refuge in an office moments before her death.
Jennifer Mills-Westley, 60, asked for help in a social security office in the busy Los Cristianos resort but left when she thought the coast was clear. The retired road safety officer from Norwich was then followed into a nearby store by her killer, 28-year-old Deyan Valentinov Deyanov, a homeless Bulgarian man with a history of mental illness.
Deyanov stabbed her 14 times in the neck with a kitchen knife before running out with her severed head. The blade was found in a bag Deyanov was carrying when he was tackled and overpowered a few minutes later.
A source at the National Police in Tenerife said: ‘We have been told Deyanov was following his victim on Friday morning, that she went into a social security office asking for help and saying she was very scared.
‘She waited in the office until he disappeared. She walked into the Chinese-owned shop nearby and he followed her in.’
The police source said her killer than grabbed a large kitchen knife from a shelf and stabbed her at least 14 times in the neck without saying a word.
‘Eventually he managed to sever her head completely, he picked it up and ran out of the shop,’ he said, adding it was ‘without doubt one of the most gruesome crimes we have seen in Tenerife’.
Police believe Deyanov picked his victim completely at random.
Ms Mills-Westley had Spanish residency and lived in Tenerife but often travelled to Norfolk and France to visit her daughters and grandchildren.
Her ex-husband Peter, who now lives in Ireland, said his former wife was ‘a wonderful woman, a brilliant mother and I loved her very dearly’.
One of her two daughters, Sarah Mears, a business consultant who lives with her husband Barry near Norwich, said the family was devastated. She said in a statement that her mother was ‘fully enjoying her retirement’. She added: ‘She was full of life, generous of heart, would do anything for anyone.
‘We now have to find some way of living without her love and light.’
Ms Mills-Westley’s other daughter, Samantha Gomes, is understood
