A multi-millionaire has been found guilty of murdering his escort girlfriend after discovering she was planning to fleece him and work for other men.

Peter Morgan, 54, a successful property developer, killed Georgina Symonds, 25, at her bungalow in Llanmartin, Newport.

The father-of-two paid Miss Symonds, a former burlesque dancer, up to £10,000 per month and allowed her to live rent-free at the £300,000 property.

Newport Crown Court heard that Miss Symonds had a series of intimate pictures of Morgan, who is worth £20 million, which she threatened to show to his wife and daughters.
