POLICE have released the 999 call made by murderer Rebecca Ryan after she lured her ex-boyfriend to his death.

Ryan called the emergency services, claiming she had stumbled across the attack, when in fact she had planned the brutal attack on Michael Beckwith, 44.

Michael was hit on the head 17 times with various weapons on July 31 last year in Barrack Lane, Harwich.

Ryan was convicted along with her with besotted former partner Scott Swift, 27, who had recruited 17-year-old Joseph Smith to "batter the life out of" Michael, who was a carer.
