British couple sentenced for unparalleled torture of au pair: 'Murder stemmed from cruelty'

wimbledon, london - A British couple has been convicted for the brutal death of an au pair in a case of unimaginable cruelty. The couple burned the body of the innocent victim in their garden.

The monstrous murderers took center stage in a documentary that shocked the British public this week. The case, which unfolded a year ago, was so horrific that it made headlines on TV. The couple, living in an upscale neighborhood, went to great lengths to dispose of the body of the innocent victim, Sophie Lionnet. Her remains were found in the garden of their house in Wimbledon. They burned her body on a bonfire in their garden while cooking chicken on a barbecue to mask the smell of burning flesh.

They could have gotten away with it if a vigilant neighbor hadn't called the fire department due to fear that the fire was too close to the house. When a firefighter stamped out the flames, he realized he was stepping on body parts. Investigators then made a chilling discovery in the house: hours of mobile phone recordings where the terrified au pair was interrogated and threatened by Kouider and Medouni.
