| Nasri had been meeting her for weekly sex sessions in hotels and even took her on a secret holiday to the Egyptian pyramids in the months leading up to the killing. | |

| The death of Mrs Patel-Nasri, a hard-working part-time policewoman, was described as a "tragedy" by Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair. |
