A homeless man who battered a woman to death with a mallet just days after she took him into her £1.3million flat has been pictured for the first time.
Apapale Adoum, 39, is facing a life sentence after he admitted murdering Victoria Adams, 37, at her home in Hammersmith, west London, on February 9.
Ms Adams was discovered face down in a bedroom with a black bin bag over her head, which was covered by a pillow, after police were called to a report of a man attempting to break in to the house on Coulter Road.
She had suffered at least 10 separate injuries to the back and side of the head from being struck with a blunt object - said to be a mallet which was found with her blood and DNA on it.
Adoum had met her just three days earlier on February 6 when he was living in a homeless shelter.
