GUILTY UK - Agnes Akom, 20, Cricklewood London, 9 May 2021 *arrest*

Just to update, Neculai Paizan was meant to be at the Old Bailey tomorrow for a plea hearing, but it's no longer on the listings for tomorrow so would appear to have been adjourned. This is the third time this week that a plea hearing for a case I'm following has been adjourned, so I think the crown court system generally is under a bit of pressure, probably because of Covid. Delays seem to be about 3-4 weeks.

When I see the new listing I'll update the thread.
 
So, it's sooner than expected: Monday 9 August at the Old Bailey.

I guess this MSM story also provides us with the confirmation we never had at the time that the remains found in Neasden rec were indeed Ágnes.

I like the range of other pictures of her that The Sun seems to have found. She looks like a different woman, perhaps unsurprisingly. I feel sad for her all over again.
 
The cause of a 20-year-old woman’s death remains a mystery more than three months on from the discovery of her body in North London.

Police discovered “human remains” in the search for Agnes Akom, a Hungarian national known as Dora, in Neasden Recreation Park on June 14 earlier this year.

An inquest was opened into her death at Barnet Coroner’s Court on Tuesday (September 14).

It heard how a medical cause of death is “pending further analysis” as a criminal investigation continues into her death.

Agnes, who moved to the UK three years ago, was reported missing two days after leaving her home in the Cricklewood Broadway area of Camden on May 9.

Police... remain none the wiser as to how she died, the court heard. It is understood to be unnatural.

The inquest was subsequently adjourned pending the outcome of ongoing criminal proceedings.

Police still don't know how woman, 20, died 3 months after remains found
 
There was a hearing this morning.

Thanks very much for keeping an eye out for this.
 
A LORRY driver allegedly bludgeoned his ex-lover over the head 20 times with a saw before stuffing her body in a wheelie bin.

Neculai Paizan, 64, is accused of repeatedly beating Hungarian Agnes Akom over the head with an electric saw in his home in Brent, north west London.

Paizan then stuffed the 20-year-old's body in a wheelie bin but then moved it to a park and buried it in a pit under a pile of logs, the Old Bailey heard.

Ms Akom was reported missing on 11 May last year with Paizan, originally from Romania, arrested on May 18 and charged with her murder five days later.

The victim's body was not found for a month. Paizan has denied murder.

Prosecutor Jacob Hallam, QC, said: "On Sunday 9 May 2021 she was killed in a converted shipping container that sits down the side of a car dealership in Brent, in the northwest part of London.

"Her body was found buried in a pit, hidden under a pile of logs and branches, in a wooded part of a recreation ground in Neasden.

"And it was found in that state on 14 June of last year, so exactly a week before she should have turned 21."

The last person she had been in contact with on her phone was Paizan and the last area her phone was used was by the Lennox Autos car dealership next to the shipping container.

In the months before the killing, Paizan was seen several times by staff at Lennox Autos with a woman matching the description of Ms Akom.

[...]

And prosecutor Mr Hallam said that Paizan revealed he had had a sexual relationship with Ms Akom to another officer when being questioned at the container.

The prosecutor said: "He said he had, two or three times, but not since a year or so before.

"He said that he was shy and she was too young.

"He said that she always wanted him to give or lend her money and that she had too many friends.

"He said that he did not like this situation.

"He suggested that the officers check the CCTV cameras covering the container."

Paizan was taken to Wembley Police Station and interviewed as a witness.

[...]

The weeks between Akom's death and her body's discovery meant that decomposition was "advanced" but a pathologist found she had suffered "at least 20 blows to her head", jurors heard.

"Those blows had led to her death," Mr Hallam added.

"When her body was found her head had been covered in a black plastic bag, secured with a cord around her throat, the bag seemingly being put on to catch the blood from the injuries to her head as it would appear that the bag was placed on her head after her death."

[...]

Paizan had a property in Peel Street, Notting Hill, west London, but rented the shipping container from mid-2019.

When examined by police it was found to be "heavily stained" with Ms Akom's blood, even though "vigorous attempts" had been made to clean it up, it is said.

Akom left her Cricklewood Broadway flat in the morning on May 9 after telling her partner that she was going to work.

Between 10 - 11am that morning, she exchanged messages with Paizan, the court heard.

Jurors heard how she booked an Uber ... but Paizan arrived at the Costa Coffee where she was sat.

After an exchange, she got into his silver Dacia Sandero.

He drove them to his shipping container, arriving just before midday, the jury heard. CCTV was played which showed the pair entering the grey metal box.

Mr Hallam said: "The doors close behind him. That is the last time that Agnes is seen alive on CCTV."

About half an hour later, CCTV captured Paizan leaving the container to head towards a nearby tap with "red markings" on his arm, the court heard.

Nobody else entered or exited the container, the prosecutor added.

"It is the prosecution's case that in that time Agnes sustained the injuries that caused her death.

"And that the red markings on the defendant's left arm is the blood of the woman that he had just killed."

[...]

Later that day, CCTV caught Paizan dragging a "large white item" which it is claimed was "large enough to contain a human body" from the door of his unit to his car.

Mr Hallam said: "That was the mechanism of how he got the body of the woman he had killed out of the container.

"He then put it into the car, drove to the flat at Peel Street, left the body in the car overnight and early the following morning headed over to the recreation ground and, using a waste bin, transported the body of the woman he murdered from bag, to bin, to burial site.

"The prosecution case is that Agnes Akom's body was in the white item and was placed by the defendant into the back of his car."

The trial is set to continue tomorrow.

Romanian lorry accused of killing woman in his converted shipping container tells jury she drugged him - and when he came around someone else had battered her to death



______

A man, 64, accused of murdering a young woman in a converted shipping container by hitting her round the head with an electronic jig saw at least 20 times has told a jury how she would strip, dance, and play games for him. Necolai Paizan said he love Agnes Akom, 20, “the way a father loves a daughter or a son”.

 
A 64-year-old man accused of murdering a young woman with an electric jigsaw power tool has claimed in court that she "poisoned" him with an iced coffee drink.

Neculai Paizan allegedly battered Hungarian Agnes Akom, 20, repeatedly over the head with the piece of equipment at a converted shipping container residence on 9 May 2021.

He then buried her body at Neasden Recreation Ground in north-west London, where it was discovered on 14 June last year, a week before her 21st birthday, it is alleged.

Romanian Paizan, of Kensington, west London, denies murder.

The lorry driver told jurors at the Old Bailey on Wednesday that he got to know Ms Akom, also known as "Dora", over a year and a half.

They met 54 times in 12 months, and during that time she would strip naked, dance, play games and tell him stories about other men she had "relationships" with, the court was told.

[...]

The trial continues.
