John Broadhurst arriving at Birmingham Crown court today where he pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Natalie Connolly
A multimillionaire property tycoon has admitted killing his girlfriend during a kinky alcohol and drug-fuelled S&M sex session at their home.
John Broadhurst, 40, pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Natalie Connolly, 26, part way through his murder trial at Birmingham Crown Court.
The businessman, of Wolverley, Worcestershire, had denied battering his partner of six months to death and claimed he had only hurt her 'within the boundaries of her masochistic desires.'
Miss Connolly was discovered wearing only a black skirt which was pulled up to her waist at the couple's £600,000 home in Kinver, West Midlands on December 18 2016.
Jurors were told how Broadhurst may have wanted to 'teach Natalie a lesson' after finding out she had been sending topless pictures to another man on social media.
The mother-of-one was killed after the couple had spent a day drinking alcohol and taking cocaine before engaging in 'rough sex' .
Miss Connolly was found in a pool of blood at the base of the staircase having suffered over 40 injuries - including blunt-force trauma to her head, buttocks and breast.
She had also suffered horrific internal injuries which were inflicted during a bizarre sex game involving a bottle of carpet cleaner.
Broadhurst, a property developer with a fortune of around £15 million, went on trial last month charged with murder and causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
Today he pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter, which was accepted by the prosecution.

The trial was told how Miss Connolly called Broadhurst 'the boss' and the pair would regularly enjoy S&M sex sessions during which he would smack her bottom with a belt.
The couple first started an affair while Broadhurst was in a relationship with his pregnant long term partner before eventually getting together in July 2016.
But the court heard Miss Connolly, a receptionist, had been sending another man photos of her wearing underwear and messaging her ex-boyfriend.

Prosecutors alleged the property developer may have found out about this and killed her in a rage before spraying her face with bleach to clean off the blood.
David Mason QC, prosecuting, told the jury previously how Natalie's fatal injuries were consistent with 'punch or toe-poke kicks'.
He added:'Broadhurst has lost it with Natalie that night.
'He has beaten her with fists and weapons, punched or kicked her to the face, severely damaged her private parts and lied about it afterwards to cover his tracks.'
Earlier on that day, the couple had spent the afternoon drinking after watching West Bromwich Albion play Manchester United before going for a curry.
They were taken home in a chauffeur-driven Range Rover where the party continued in the kitchen and the pair consumed more alcohol and about two grams of cocaine.
Broadhurst, claimed she later indicated that she wanted to have masochistic sex and had found her dead at the foot of the stairs the following morning.
Post-mortem analysis found she died from her injuries in conjunction with alcohol intoxication. She was found to be more than five times the drink-drive limit.

During the trial she was described by pals as 'a free spirit' who was 'full of fun' and 'always the life and soul of the party.'
The pair had been due to spend Christmas in Dubai with the defendant's family and Natalie's daughter from a previous relationship.
The court was also played a 999 call made by Broadhurst in the morning of December 18, 2016, in which he said: 'I think she's probably dead.
'I woke up this morning, went downstairs. We had been drinking. She's lying on the floor.'
He repeatedly exclaimed 'Oh my God' as he tried to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on her.
Broadhurst will be sentenced on December 17.

John Broadhurst, 40,...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
