Man, 27, pleads guilty to murdering and decapitating girlfriend

  • Ewan Methven, 27, pleaded guilty today at Glasgow High Court to murdering his girlfriend Phoenix Spencer-Horn, 21, at their East Kilbride flat.
  • The murder occurred late on November 16, 2024, when Methven strangled and stabbed Phoenix multiple times using three knives.
  • Methven mutilated her body by severing her head and attempted to remove her limbs, then tried to delay arrest by lying in texts to her mother.
  • Prosecutor Christopher McKenna said Methven complained about feeling lonely due to Phoenix's work hours, and Methven claimed a cocaine-induced psychotic episode in a November 18 999 call.
  • Phoenix's body was found on November 18, prompting a SWAT response and Methven’s arrest, with a sentencing hearing scheduled next month.
