Man slits porn star's throat

A 26-year-old man strangulated a former porn star, assaulted her with a potted plant and later slit her throat at her home in the outskirts of London.

Shohidul Islam turned up at the home of porn star-turned-escort Savannah Gold, 26, in Lambeth area near London, throttled her with a rope and bashed her with a potted plant.

Her neighbours heard screams and found the woman naked, with blood pouring out from her slit throat, the Sun reported.

Islam, a resident of Poplar area in east London, admitted wounding her with an intent of robbery. He was jailed for eight years.

The assailant had earlier robbed two bookies with a fake gun.
