Today, the inquest of Joy Morgan has ruled that it was an unlawful killing after the University of Hertfordshire student was found dead in a wood near Stevenage.
The hearing at Hertfordshire Coroners Court in Hatfield also heard that the midwifery student, who was last seen in December 2018, had no blunt or sharp force trauma to the body.
A dog walker eventually found her wrapped in bin bags, bound up with gaffer tape, and covered with a mound of logs in Norton Green, and she was identified through DNA testing in October 2019 after her murderer Shohfah-El Israel was jailed in August of that year.
