A property developer, John Broadhurst  is set to be sentenced by a High Court judge for leaving his injured and bleeding partner to die after “rough sex” at their home.

The multi-millionaire last week, cleared of murdering Natalie Connolly and causing her grievous bodily harm, but admitted her manslaughter on the grounds of gross negligence, Yahoo News has reported.

A trial was told that Broadhurst dialled 999 from his then home in Kenrose Mill, Kinver, near Stourbridge, informing the operator he had found his partner “dead as a doughnut” at the bottom of the stairs.

Miss Connolly, aged 26, was pronounced dead at the scene by a paramedic on the morning of December 18, 2016.

A post-mortem showed the mother-of-one had suffered more than 40 separate injuries, including serious internal trauma.

A trial at Birmingham Crown Court was told that Broadhurst claimed Miss Connolly was injured as a result of consensual sexual activity after both of them drank alcohol and took drugs.

The 40-year-old business tycoon – said during his trial to be worth up to £15 million – admitted manslaughter by leaving Miss Connolly unsupervised and failing to contact the emergency services in circumstances where “a risk of death as a result of her condition would have been obvious.”

Prosecutors had alleged that Broadhurst “totally lost it” during a drink and drug-fuelled sex session, before leaving Miss Connolly to die.

Broadhurst, now of Blakeshall Farm, Wolverley, will be sentenced on Monday by Mr. Justice Julian Knowles.
