A jealous ex-boyfriend killed his former girlfriend in a disused curry shop after he suffocated her with clingfilm and masking tape. Obsessive Prabhu 32, was convicted of murdering Zofia Sadowska, 17, at Reading Crown Court on Thursday. Jurors heard Prabhu became enraged when she started dating his childhood friend which led him to stalk the young woman. At his trial jurors viewed CCTV footage which showed Raju hiding behind bins as he watched Ms Sadowska at a shopping centre, weeks before he carried her “limp” body out of the curry shop and into a taxi. The court heard that he tricked her into going to the shop where he used to work and she was either incapacitated or dead when she was put into the taxi, with Prabhu maintaining a “charade” that she was drunk and asleep. Jurors at Reading Crown Court were told that Prabhu admitted manslaughter by killing the Polish woman, who was a mother, in what he claimed was part of a lovers’ suicide pact. But he denied murder. Prabhu, also known as RIP, stood in the dock with Rajesh Kumaria, his childhood friend from India, who was accused of lying to police to protect his friend after feeling “very guilty” about having sexual relations with Ms Sadowska behind his back. But Suresh was acquitted of perverting the course of justice. The court heard that Prabhu saw his ex go to a hotel with another man days before she died and that was the “final insult”. He allegedly tricked her into going to his curry shop in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, where he had worked previously and still had the keys for.
