A man found guilty of the murder of a Boston woman has been jailed for life.

41 year old Kamil Ranoszek will serve a minimum of 22 years for the murder of his partner Ilona Golabek.

Ilona Golabek's remains were found in March.

Earlier today at Lincoln Crown Court - the judge accepted a majority verdict that found Ranoszek guilty of murder.

The defendant showed no reaction as the verdict was read aloud, dressed in a prison issue grey jumper and jeans.

Ilona was last seen on November 9th last year.

Her remains were then later found in concealed bags in Witham Way Country Park.

Ranoszek had been arrested and charged with the murder, prior to the discovery of Ilona's body.

Detective Inspector Andy McWatt said: “Our thoughts are with Ilona’s family.

“This was a complex investigation in which we had a murder inquiry but had not recovered the body of Ilona.

“A forensic examination was carried out at the Wormgate property, and a substantial amount of blood was found in and around the sofa in the lounge.

“There was also heavy blood staining around the bath and evidence of recent cleaning having taken place within the bathroom, which was significantly cleaner than the rest of the house.

"This led us to believe that Ilona has died at this address. Despite the efforts made to destroy evidence the painstaking examination of the property by CSI, using specialist techniques, coupled with outstanding analysis of both router and cell site evidence, the jury was able to swiftly and confidently convict Ranozek of this horrendous and brutal murder.”

Ranozek pleaded not guilty to murder at a previous court hearing. He was sentenced after a three-week trial at Lincoln Crown Court.
