Man convicted of murdering stepdaughter at Preston student accommodation
Nathan Owens, 34, has been convicted of murdering his 19-year-old stepdaughter, Carla Georgescu, at her university accommodation in Preston. Prosecutors said he travelled there after becoming jealous of her planned trip to Romania to meet a man she had met online, and described his sexual fixation on her as a key part of the case.
Carla was found dead on 5 February, initially believed to have died by suicide. CCTV and car data contradicted Owens’s account of the journey, while investigators said he searched online about suspicious-death inquiries and wiped devices after returning home. Jurors reached their verdict in under four hours; Owens did not give evidence, and the precise events inside the flat remain unclear.
