Louise Kam: Two men guilty of murdering businesswoman
By Jeremy BrittonBBC News
Two men have been found guilty of strangling a businesswoman and dumping her body in a rubbish bin after their multi-million pound plan to " plunder" her property went wrong.
Louise Kam, 71, disappeared In July 2021, when she was last seen shopping in Barnet, north-west London.
Kusai Al-Jundi, 24, from Harrow and Mohamed El-Abboud, 28, were both convicted of her murder.
They will be sentenced at the Old Bailey on 1 February.
Prosecutor Oliver Glasgow KC told The Court text messages apparently sent by Ms Kam to her friends In July 2021 did not sound like she had written them.
" Little did those closest to her realise that when they were replying to those messages, Louise Kam was Already Dead , " The Prosecutor said.
" 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. "
That plan was " hatched" by Al-Jundi who worked as a chef at a restaurant in Willesden, north-west London, The Trial heard.
He had spent months befriending Ms Kam, from Potters Bar , Hertfordshire, and trying to deceive her into giving him control of two properties she owned in Willesden and East Barnet, and to sign over control of her finances to him.
The Second defendant, Romanian national El-Abboud, who worked as a delivery driver at the same restaurant, moved into one of her houses at Gallants Farm Road, East Barnet, and began to treat her property as his own, The Court heard.
