A scholar, who beat a fellow London Metropolitan University student to death with a dumb bell handle in an unexplained fit of rage, has been jailed for life.
Emlyn Evans-Loude, 27, (pictured) of Wallwood Road, Leytonstone – originally from Barnstaple, Devon – only knew the victim a few days when he launched the deadly attack during a drinking session.
Polish victim Michal Mazur, 28, an international relations student was stuffed inside an airing cupboard at the East London flat, where police later found him.
Philosophy and economics student Evans-Loude tried to rally help to bury the body in Epping Forest, but he was unable to dispose of it and was arrested at a Devon railway station.
The Old Bailey jury rejected the defendant’s claims of self-defence and he was convicted of murder between January 10 and 12 and must serve at least 17 years before he is considered for parole.
Police recovered the body from the basement flat on January 19 and a post mortem confirmed the cause of death as head, neck and facial injuries.
