Brendan Rowan-Davies is a British man convicted of the brutal sexually motivated murder of Kelly-Anne Case.

Murder

On July 30 2019, Case, Rowan-Davies and their friend Will Vallender were at Case's home, where they drank alcohol and took cocaine. Rowan-Davies then made advances on Case, but she laughed at him before going upstairs and having sex with Vallender. Rowan-Davies followed them and filmed the encounter without their knowledge. Soon after, Vallender and Rowan-Davies left together, but Rowan-Davies returned, telling Vallender he was going back to get a cigarette, and tied up Case before mutilating and raping her. He then slit her throat and set the house on fire before leaving, stealing some of Case's underwear for his own sexual gratification. After Case's body was found, Rowan-Davies was arrested. His DNA was found on various objects at the crime scene. He claimed that he had returned and found someone else in the process of committing the murder, but CCTV showed that he was the only person to enter the house near the time of death. On 4 January 2020, Rowan-Davies was sentenced to life in prison, with a chance of release in 30 years.
