A "skilled butcher" has been found guilty of murdering her partner before cutting her body in two and burying her remains in the back garden of a house more than 15 years ago.
Izabela Zablocka was first reported missing in 2010, and her remains were found buried in Princes Street, Derby, on 1 June 2025.
The discovery came, Derby Crown Court heard, after Anna Podedworna, 40, of Boyer Street in Derby, contacted Derbyshire Police last year, telling them the body would be found there.
Prosecutor Gordon Aspden KC said "mounting pressure" caused Podedworna to "crack" and email the police last year when a Polish television journalist flew to the UK to interview her.
She was convicted of murder, as well as perverting the course of justice and preventing a lawful burial.
Podedworna showed no emotion when the jury returned their verdict, after deliberating for seven hours and six minutes.
