In January 2018, 32-year-old Kirby Noden, a mother of three, disappeared from her apartment in Marazion, Cornwall, UK.
Her partner Dean Low first said that he did not know where she had gone, and then said that Kirby "fled from everyone to South Africa." But four months later, he decided to confess to her murder and sent messages about it to members of the Noden family.
Lowe said that he didn't just kill Kirby, but beat her to death with a hammer, and then dismembered her body, chopped into small pieces and flushed her down the toilet. As a keepsake, the killer kept a necklace made from her teeth.
Anita Noden, Kirby's mother, was shocked by this confession, but she was even more frightened by the fact that a year ago a fortune teller looked at her palm and predicted her daughter's terrible death.
Anita was on vacation when a woman came up to her and offered to tell fortunes in her palm.

Now the heartbroken mother only hopes that her daughter died an easy death after the first blow. She says Kirby was very cheerful and upbeat. She loved life, loved her children, was cheerful and happy. And Ding Low always made Anita reject, probably subconsciously.
Kirby and Dean met when they were young and quickly became friends, but Kirby began dating another and had his first child. However, Lowe was persistent, and after a few years got back in touch with Kirby. Kirby gave birth to the next two children already from Lowe.

In May 2018, after his trial, Ding Lowe received 28 years in prison for murder with extreme cruelty. At the trial, Lowe calmly recounted how he methodically dismembered the corpse, how he flushed parts down the toilet and that "there are still traces of her blood everywhere in the apartment, even on the ceiling." Somehow, Lowe managed to do everything at a time when the three children were not at home and then none of them suspected anything.
After Lowe's confession, the police thoroughly searched the apartment and indeed found a huge amount of badly rubbed blood in it. According to the police, there was so much blood that there was no doubt a murder. No other remains of the poor woman's body have been found.
