A man has been jailed for life after bludgeoning a "vulnerable" homeless woman to death as she slept on the steps of a church. Kieran Rifat, of Grange Road, Plaistow, was sentenced at the Old Bailey today (Thursday, February 4) after pleading guilty to murder. Rifat battered Kelly Stewart with a rock without warning as she lay sleeping in the doorway of Memorial Community Church, Barking Road in the early hours of March 26 last year.
