Syrian cook and Romanian delivery driver found guilty of murdering 71-year-old businesswoman as part of £4.6 million scam
Detective Chief Inspector Brian Howie, of the Metropolitan Police, said it was "despicable callous crime" driven by greed.
Prosecutor Oliver Glasgow KC told the jury that Al-Jundi was "prepared to stop at nothing" to trick Ms Kam out of her property and his friend, El-Abboud, was "more than happy" to help. Despite Ms Kam's son, Greg, warning her it could be a scam, she was eager to go ahead, with the encouragement of her friend, jurors heard.
A meeting was arranged at the Barnet house but, by the time Ms Kam realised something was amiss, it was too late.There was a violent struggle and Ms Kam was strangled with electrical cord, jurors were told. Greg Kam was in hospital with Covid but became so concerned for his mother that he reported her missing to police.Her body was later found at Al-Jundi's home, hidden beneath turf in the wheelie bin.
