The 25-year-old care assistant targeted Mehmet Hassan, 56, in March last year after meeting him in a Mayfaircasino.

 

She was found guilty of manslaughter, her partner Kyrron Jackson, 28, and his friend Nicholas Chandler, 29, were found guilty of murder.

 

Granger, under the name of Rachel, had been wined and dined by Mr Hassan, who boasted to friends he was not paying her to be with him, the court heard earlier.

On the night Mr Hassan was killed, he had taken Granger to the upmarket sushi restaurant Nobu before giving her £1,000 to gamble with at the nearby Palm Beach Casino.
