Since police linked him to bloody footprints at the crime scene and a hair in his victim's ring, a killer who murdered a sex worker near the home of Sherlock Holmes 30 years ago is jailed for life

Sandip Patel, a freelance writer for Sherlock Holmes News on Baker Street in London, stabbed 39-year-old Marina Koppel more than 140 times in her rented flat in Chiltern Street on August 8, 1994. In Mrs Koppel's kitchen, the then 21-year-old student's finger marks were discovered on a carrier bag, but not as a criminal at the time. Patel, 51, was charged with her murder last year after his DNA was matched to hair on the victim's ring, and he was tied by a bloody footprint on a skirting board. During the assault, he reportedly extracted Mrs Koppel's bank card pin and used the number to withdraw money near his house. Patel has been sentenced to life in prison for a minimum term of 19 years.
