A law student has been found guilty of stabbing to death a doctor who gave him lodgings and acted as his guardian

David Quartey, 22, of Humber Road, Dartford, was convicted at Maidstone Crown Court of murdering consultant paediatrician Victoria Anyetei. The 54-year-old was stabbed 56 times in her car in Teynham Road, Dartford, on 14 August 2007, as she left for work at St Thomas' Hospital in London. Quartey was jailed for life and ordered to serve at least 15 years. Sentencing him, Judge Jeremy Carey said: "You gravely abused the trust that she put in you. "It was indeed a frenzied attack of enormous brutality." He described Quartey - the son of a High Court judge in Ghana - as a "highly dangerous young man".
