Jennifer Mills-Westley, 60, was killed in May 2011 in the popular resort of Los Cristianos on the Canary Island where she had a holiday home. Dean Valentinov Deyanov, 29, a homeless Bulgarian, is accused of killing the retired road safety officer from Norwich, Norfolk.

He stabbed her 14 times with a knife he grabbed from a supermarket shelf and ran into the street brandishing her severed head shouting "God is on Earth".

Mrs Mills-Wesley's two daughters, Sarah and Sam, will attend the trial and spoke Friday of their dread of coming face to face with the killer.

In a joint statement they said: "On Friday May 13, 2011, our lives changed irrevocably when we heard the shocking news that our much loved mother had been brutally murdered in Tenerife.

"Now, nearly two years later we will come face to face with the man who took her life that day and relive the heartbreaking details of the events leading up to her untimely death.
