Millionaire batters girlfriend to death while having rough sex fueled by cocaine and booze

A woman was battered to death by her millionaire property developer boyfriend during a violent drug and booze-fueled sadomasochistic sex session at their residence, a court heard

Natalie Connolly, 26, was allegedly murdered by John Broadhurst, 40, after he "totally lost it" and left her naked body at the bottom of a staircase in a pool of her own blood. Her body was found on December 18, 2016, at the couple's £600,000 home in Kinver, West Midlands. The pair had engaged in "rough sex" after a day of drinking alcohol and snorting cocaine, prosecutors said.

Broadhurst, of Wolverley, Worcestershire, allegedly wanted to "teach Natalie a lesson" after discovering that she had been sending nude pictures to a stranger on social media, jurors heard. The millionaire is alleged to have sprayed her face with bleach to clean off the blood after he inflicted "dreadful" blunt-force injuries to her head and chest, Daily Mail reports.
