GUILTY UK - Louise Kam, 71, Potters Bar, Herts, shopping centre Barnet, 26 Jul 2021 *ARRESTS*

[supersleuth1974]

I just think a 20 something lad , can't be that silly can they , to be advertising a crime scene in his own name. All very odd

 

[MsMiniSleuth]

Interestingly, according to Companies House, Louise lived in Gallants Farm Road - the same road as one of the accused. So becomes clear now that was where she was trailed from, and perhaps had been watched prior to that day. Her company office was in Willesden, hence her going to that area.

Would someone kindly use the Report feature to let us know if this deceased person is officially identified as Louise.

We don't change the thread title unless there is a positive ID.

Thanks !!

I think we may not have clarification until the accused are next in court, on August 27, when it is likely to be stated that the body found was positively identified as being that of Louise.

 

[MsMiniSleuth]

Just bringing up that a week today the two defendants will be back in court for the plea hearing.

 

[Jolee000]

Is there an update on this at all?

There was supposed to have been a plea hearing last month, but seems put back to October 20 - or the previous reporting media got date wrong - so unlikely to hear more before then.

Elderly woman strangled and dumped in wheelie bin 'in plot to get her houses and money

Two men murdered an elderly woman in a bid to obtain her two houses and money, a court has heard. Louise Kam, 71, was allegedly strangled with an electrical cord from a hairdryer and her body dumped in a bin towards the end of July 2021.

Kusai Al-Jundi, 24, and Mohammed El-Abboud, 28, are accused of sending text messages from her phone to concerned relatives, in order to keep up the deception. Her body was eventually discovered by police inside a large wheelie bin and was identified by dental records.

Both men have denied her murder and are currently on trial at the Old Bailey. Today (Tuesday, November 22), prosecutor Oliver Glasgow KC claimed that the plan had been “hatched” by Al-Jundi, a chef who worked in a restaurant in Willesden, with him instructing solicitors for both him and Ms Kam to ensure her properties could be given to him without the need for funds to be exchanged.

The trial, which is due to last five weeks, continues.

• Chef Kusai Al-Jundi, 28, and delivery driver Mohammed El-Abboud, 24, on trial
• The two defendants allegedly strangled wealthy businesswoman Louise Kam, 72
• They dumped her body in a bin and planned to plunder her savings, court hears

A chef and his delivery driver friend strangled a wealthy businesswoman to death and dumped her body in a rubbish bin when she refused to sell them her £1.3million house, a murder trial heard.

Chef Kusai Al-Jundi, 28, and delivery driver Mohammed El-Abboud, 24, sent messages to concerned relatives when Louise Kam, 72, went missing, pretending she was still alive, it was alleged.

But prosecutor Oliver Glasgow told the hearing at the Old Bailey court: 'She had been strangled, her body dumped unceremoniously in a rubbish bin, and a plan was afoot to conceal her murder and plunder her life savings.'

Al-Jundi had allegedly spent the months leading up to Ms Kam's death trying to con her into giving him two properties she owned and sign over the control of her finances to him.

He allegedly instructed solicitors to act for both him and Ms Kam so her properties could be given to him without the need for any funds to change hands.

Mr Glasgow described Al-Jundi's actions as a 'carefully orchestrated deception.'

[...]

The prosecutor added: 'El-Abboud moved into Louise Kam's house and posted videos on social media that mocked her wealth and good fortune.'

It was claimed he told visitors to the house that it belonged to Al-Jundi.

Mr Glasgow said the pair were linked to the crime through a combination of CCTV, telephone, forensic, and eye-witness evidence which painted an 'undeniable evidential picture'.

Al-Jundi had deceived the pensioner into believing he would pay her vast sums of money in exchange for the two properties, jurors heard.

'He tricked her into signing paperwork in connection with the sale of her house and he managed to obtain her signature on a power of attorney which had the potential to leave him in control of her personal finances,' Mr Glasgow said.

Mr Glasgow told the court both defendants were "conclusively" linked to Ms Kam's death, with Mr Al-Jundi's DNA recovered by police from a pair of gloves, as well as one of the plastic bin bags found with Ms Kam's body.

Mr El-Abboud's DNA was found on a hair dryer from which the electrical flex had been removed and used to strangle Ms Kam, the jury heard.

Her blood and DNA were also discovered on a jumper Mr El-Abboud was wearing the day she was killed, the court heard, and on a second pair of gloves found with her body.

A woman who was duped by an alleged fraudster before he allegedly went on to murder an elderly millionaire said she made 'a terrible mistake' by not reporting him to the police, a court heard today.

Chef Kusai Al-Jundi, 28, promised to pay Anna Reich £57,000 for her Audi TT and a Toyota Rav 4 as he declared his undying love for the older Ms Reich, the Old Bailey was told.

She handed over both cars but never got a penny and weeks later Al-Jundi and his delivery man Mohammed El-Abboud, 24, allegedly strangled millionaire Louise Kam, 71, to death after promising to buy her properties for six million pounds, jurors have heard.

Mrs Kam's body was dumped in a bin and covered with garden waste as messages were sent from the victim's phone to her family and friends claiming she was leaving the country for China.

The bin was found outside Al-Jundi's home in Wood End Road, Harrow, northwest London, on 29 July last year, the court was told.

A delivery driver accused of killing a millionairess joked as he confessed to murdering her, a court has heard.

The body of Louise Kam, 71, was found dumped in a bin last year having been strangled to death.

Mohammed El-Abboud, 24, was living in Mrs Kam's home after his friend and chef, Kusai Al-Jundi, had promised to buy the property in a £6million deal, the Old Bailey heard.

On July 26, the victim drove her BMW to the house in East Barnet, North London expecting a lawyer to be there to finalise arrangements between the pair.

The jury were told that the millionairess didn't leave the house alive and her body was later found dumped in a bin outside Al-Jundi's home.

El-Abboud and Al-Jundi are both deny the charges against them.

The court heard evidence from Maria Amariucai, who said she met defendant El-Abboud while they were working in a warehouse in Coventry and stayed with him at Mrs Kam's house when she visited London.

Ms Amariucai claimed to the court that Al-Jundi became infatuated with her and wanted to marry her. She also claimed the pair didn't become romantically involved with each other.

Shielded from the two defendants by a velvet curtain, Ms Amariucai claimed that Al-Jundi, who was already married and had children, became infatuated with her and wanted to marry her.

She claimed to the jury: "He said he loved me and he would like to get to know me."

Ms Amariucai claimed she came to London to visit the two men around five times and was driven around by El-Abboud in a grey Audi TT taken by Al-Jundi from another woman.
