Francis Oby Fouley, right in her home in Haven Hampshire, back on April 16th last year. He smothered her with blue tape the day after their break-up, then got picked up walking along the slip road on the M-40 near High Wycombe, where he straight up confessed to a traffic officer that he had killed her. Police rushed to her place, found her body on the floor with the tape wrapped around her face and head, and the post-mortem confirmed smothering as. The cause, along with some neck and chest compression. Doorbell footage caught him going in that night, and neighbors heard bang soon after. Francis was a devoted mom, sister, and friend. Kind, smart, and full of light, her family says, and losing her has shattered them completely. Maxner also got convicted of neglecting a child in the mix, showing how deep this tragedy ran for everyone connected. In a two-week trial at Portsmouth Crown Court, he barely engaged,

called himself the devil, stayed silent in interviews, and even nodded off. Yesterday, he got life with a minimum of 24 years from prison. Detectives and prosecutors are calling it a brutal domestic homicide, stressing they'll keep chasing justice in these cases while hoping this brings. Some closure to her hard-broken family.
