He was stabbed 17 times
An ‘incredibly dangerous’ coin collector has been found guilty of stabbing a rival to death so he could get his hands on his rare hoard.
He had denied the killing in Colchester, Essex, but was found guilty of murdering Mr McGhee on Friday at Ipswich Crown Court.A large quantity of his coins were found to be missing after the murder and have never been recovered, with Bostock blamed for their theft. ‘After the murder, Mr McGhee’s coin collection, the vast bulk of it, couldn’t be found. We say it was this defendant who took it.’
But a shoe box for Lonsdale Camden Town trainers was recovered at Bostock’s house and CCTV from the local shop also showed the defendant wearing those very trainers on the evening of August 21.Bostock will be sentenced later this month. ‘His continued lies, including trying to pin the murder on an innocent man and his denial of owning the trainers that we knew were key to this investigation, show that.
