Murder

On 13 June 1998, Simmons's naked body was discovered hanging in the shower of a London flat. She had been strangled to death and then hanged by a leather strap. The rest of the flat was awash with blood.[3] Yaniv Malka, Simmons' ex-boyfriend, was arrested later that day and charged with her killing; he claimed her death was part of a suicide pact. He said that they had sex and then she begged him to strangle her.[2] On 29 March 1999, Malka was sentenced to life imprisonment for Simmons' murder.[4] In February 2000, three Appeal Court judges unanimously rejected Malka's claims that he had not received a fair trial.[5]
