This is the moment a former Microsoft executive visits a restaurant with her killer just hours before her body was found drowned by a private members' club on the Thames.

CCTV footage obtained by the Daily Mail shows Jennifer Symonds, 44, arriving at a Mediterranean-style bistro in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, alongside Nelio Gouveia, 45, who yesterday admitted to killing her on March 6.

The pair are seen walking into the restaurant together at 9.15pm during their 'date' before speaking to a waiter, who told them the kitchen was closed, and leaving.

Symonds, dressed in a full-length black jacket, walks in first and is followed by murderer Gouveia, who is wearing a black jacket and ripped jeans.

After speaking to the waiter she waves her hand in thanks, turns and leaves. The sighting would be the last of her alive.

Her body was found by the River Thames within the grounds of the Phyllis Court private members club - half a mile from the restaurant - at 7.50am the following morning.

She had met up for drinks in Henley with Gouveia earlier in the evening and a commotion was heard by a pavilion close to the club between 2am and 3am.

Gouveia, understood to have worked as a kitchen porter at the club, was arrested at the scene and later charged with murder.

He appeared at Oxford Crown Court yesterday where he pleaded guilty.

Dressed in a grey prison tracksuit and assisted by a Portuguese interpreter, his head was bowed throughout the brief hearing.

Gouveia, of Henley-on-Thames, was remanded in custody by Judge Ian Pringle and will next appear at Oxford Crown Court for sentencing on November 20.

Ms Symonds had been a senior customer success account manager at Microsoft and had worked at the firm's UK headquarters in Reading for more than six years before being made redundant in January 2025.

It's understood she had arranged to meet Gouveia that day but it's unclear how they had met or what he nature of their relationship was.

Before Microsoft, she had worked for a number of companies in London and Gloucester and had studied physical geography at the University of Gloucestershire between 2000 and 2003, where she was also hockey captain.

A friend said: 'She was finding it tough to get a new job after Microsoft and felt that her life had begun to unravel slightly.

'She told me that she'd been to court last summer after accusing a former partner of assault but he ended up being cleared.

'I think Jennifer found that hard to take as well. Recently she'd been struggling with her mental health due to being out of work.

'But she was a really lovely, warm-hearted person who loved to chat to people around town. She was very well-liked.'

Ms Symonds lived in a first-floor flat above a hairdresser's in the centre of Henley, a three-minute walk from the River.

After her death, friends asked for any flowers laid in her memory to be left at a bench at Red Lion Lawn, described as her 'favourite spot'.

Senior investigating officer Detective Inspector Rob Underhill, of the Thames Valley Police Major Crime Unit, said: 'My thoughts remain firmly with Jennifer's family, who have lost someone who was dear to them.

'Nelio's actions on 6 March were heinous, and I am pleased that he has pleaded guilty.

'This case demonstrates Thames Valley Police's commitment to investigating violence against women and girls.

'If you are a victim of violence, then please be reassured that we have specially trained officers who will listen and support you.'
