Kusai Al-Jundi, 28, and delivery driver, Mohammed El-Abboud, 24, were accused of murdering Louise Kam, 71, in her home in Barnet.
Al-Jundi was also indicted of being a ‘Walter Mitty’ character who tried to rip off Mrs Kam, 71, after offering her £6 million he did not have for her house and block of flats.
The court heard that Mrs Kam, 71, drove her BMW convertible to her house on Gallants Farm Road, East Barnet, thinking a lawyer would be there to finalise arrangements with the pair on July 26 last year, but she would never leave alive.
[...]
His barrister Martin Rutherford told the court today he was offering no evidence at all on behalf of Al-Jundi - this means Al-Jundi will not take the witness stand.
Mr Rutherford confirmed he had warned his client that the jury were entitled to think poorly of Al Jundi for not giving any evidence.
The court heard how Al-Jundi told another woman that he would give her £57,000 for her Audi TT and a Toyota Rav 4.
[...]
El-Abboud admits that he was at the house when Mrs Kam arrived - but in a so called ‘cut throat defence’ his lawyer, Giles Trembath, claims he was in another room asleep when Al-Jundi murdered her.
In police interviews, Romanian El-Abboud said he had only been in the country a couple of months when he became involved with Al-Jundi.
[...]
The Recorder of London, Judge Mark Lucraft adjourned the trial until January 9 and told the jury he was giving them a ‘good, restful break’ from the case.
