THE twin sister of a woman who was killed by a Wolverley millionaire in what he claimed was "rough sex" says she feels "physically sick" that the killer is to be set free this week.

Natalie Connolly, 26, was left to bleed to death at the bottom of a flight of stairs by her boyfriend John Broadhurst, of Blakeshall Farm in Wolverley, in December 2016.

The young mum, who called Broadhurst "The Boss", was found lying in a pool of blood in their Kinver home, having sustained more than 40 injuries.

The multi-millionaire businessman was initially charged with murder but claimed he had only hurt her “within the boundaries of her masochistic desires". Part-way through his trial, Broadhurst admitted manslaughter on the basis of gross negligence and he was cleared of murder and GBH.

John Broadhurst’s “rough sex” plea - which saw the 42-year-old sentenced to three years and eight months for manslaughter by gross negligence - led to the legal defence being outlawed earlier this year.

His sentence was blasted as "unduly lenient" by Natalie's family, MPs from all parties and women's rights campaigners.

Leading the campaign was Wyre Forest MP Mark Garnier, who told The Shuttle he believes Broadhurst is due for release today (Monday).

He recently said: “There is no justice in this. There never has been for Natalie. She was deprived of her life and of her reputation by this man and he got 18 months for it.

“Natalie Connolly was not someone who was into rough sex. This was Broadhurst using it. She was a just a fairly normal, fun-loving mother who, like most people, wanted a nice, happy relationship with someone she loved.”

Natalie's twin sister Gemma Andrews has spoken of her family's anguish that the killer is about to be freed from jail, after serving less than two years.

Heartbroken Gemma told the Mirror: "Spending 22 months for taking ­someone’s life – just how can that be possible?

"We’ve not had justice. The British justice system failed us."
