A PSYCHIATRIC nurse from Cricklewood who killed his partner, is likely to be struck off following his conviction for murder.

Aiah Tondoneh, 44, from Cricklewood, was jailed for at least 21-and-a-half years last May for the murder of nurse Donna Drepaul at her home in Clifton Court, Biggerstaff Street, Finsbury Park.

Ms Drepaul suffered severe burns after Tondoneh poured petrol over her and set her alight. She died on July 4 2010 , two days after the attack.

Tondoneh is facing a hearing at the Nursing and Midwifery Council for misconduct in light of his conviction, and is likely to be struck off, on Friday, January 13.

Tondoneh had worked as a carer at a psychiatric unit attached to the Whittington Hospital, Islington.
