The body of German trainee rabbi Andreas Hinz, 37, was found sawn up, stuffed into black bags, dumped in St Pancras Way, Camden Town, in July 2002. Andreas met his murderer Thomas McDowell, 27, at The Black Cap on the 3rd July 2002 and went back with him to McDowell’s flat where he was killed.
A jury found Thomas McDowell guilty of murdering Andreas Hinz. Judge Geoffrey Rivlin QC said that the only appropriate sentence was one in which he would spend his whole life in prison.
