Man stabbed girlfriend to death in hot tub in Shetland

Aren Pearson, 41, stabbed defenceless Claire Leveque, 24, a minimum of 26 times at his mother’s property in Sandness, Shetland.

The family of a woman who was murdered by her partner in Shetland say they finally have justice, after her killer was sentenced to life in prison.

Claire Leveque was stabbed to death by Aren Pearson in a hot tub at his mother’s home in Sandness last February, after they had moved there from Canada.

Passing sentence, Lord Arthurson described the murder as a “crime of exceptional depravity”.
