A man adopted in the United Kingdom is sentenced to six years in prison after a court found he strangled his girlfriend and set parts of her belongings on fire. The defendant, Renat Hammet Millay, 31, is convicted of offences including the killing of his girlfriend and an incident involving torching a carpet using a homemade flame-thrower. Prosecutors describe the attack as part of a wider pattern of abuse toward the woman, which the court heard included throwing her mobile phone into the River Thames. During the proceedings, Millay attributes the breakdown of his life and the damage to his London home to bullying at school, according to reports. The sentencing reflects the court’s findings about the violence committed against his girlfriend and the fire-related conduct. The available reporting focuses on the sequence of events leading to the assault, the alleged campaign of abusive behaviour, and the specific actions during the incident, including strangulation and the arson attack on the carpet.
