A female prison guard was 'horny' for a dangerous killer who stabbed his wife 58 times and wanted to live with him after his release, a court has heard.
Sarah Lorking, a prison officer at HMP Gartree in Market Harborough, Leicestershire, fell for inmate Bulent Sessacar, who stabbed his wife to death in Croydon, south London, in December 2012.
The 36-year-old prisoner was serving a life sentence with a minimum term of 10 years and eight months for killing Rebecca Sessacar in front of their six-year-old child.
Lorking, who is also 36, began a secret relationship with the inmate in which she kissed him, sent him love letters and even made plans to live with him after his release.
But prison authorities were then tipped off about their relationship and Sessacar, 36, was transferred to another high security jail, and the inmate killed himself less than two weeks later.

Following 'intelligence' that the pair were having a relationship, Sessacar's cell was searched on January 12 last year.
A number of cards and letters were seized, showing he was having a relationship with the anonymous sender.
Mr Prior said Lorking was fully aware a relationship with a prisoner was forbidden, as she had previously been given 'words of advice in that regard' a couple of years earlier.

But she denied being in a relationship or sending cards or letters to Sessacar when quizzed by the prison governor.
The court heard that Lorking had lobbied the prison psychiatrist in the latter part of 2020 to be appointed as Sessacar's key worker and he also made a similar request. She was said to be was aware of his ongoing mental health issues.
