Garath Davies, 23, convicted of murdering Egeli Rasta, 27

A loner has been convicted of murdering a Harrods shop worker who was found buried on the London common where she used to jog.

The body of Egeli Rasta, 27, who vanished in July last year, lay undiscovered for 12 days.

Police found a knife covered in her blood at the home of Garath Davies, 23, who lived nearby.

The name Gaz was carved into a tree in the copse on Mitcham Common, south London, where the body was found.

Davies told police: "I'm afraid I might have done it. I can't remember."

He told the court that at the time he was smoking cannabis and on that day was "very stoned".

An Old Bailey jury found him guilty of murder and perverting the course of justice by burying the body to avoid detection.

He will be sentenced later.
