A jilted teenager has been found guilty of murdering his ex-girlfriend by stabbing her to death on a river towpath in Reading.

Gulamyr Akhter, 19, killed A-level student Asha Muneer, 18, as she walked home from work in Reading in January.

She was found with more than 30 stab wounds on a footpath by the River Kennet, near the Madejski Stadium.

Reading Crown Court heard Mr Akhter, of Victoria Way, Reading, “could not tolerate her rejection of him”.
