Savage killer Vasile Culea who tied up and brutally assaulted two pensioners in Langwith Junction - to get his hands on cash - has been found guilty of the murder of the elderly wife. Vasile Culea broke into Kenneth and Freda Walker’s Station Road home on Friday, January 14, after he heard the pensioners had a significant amount of money in the home they had shared for more than 60 years.
But he left empty-handed. The couple either could not, or would not, give hard-up 34-year-old Culea the money - and he brutally assaulted them. The pair were unable to fight back after Culea had bound their hands and feet and even placed bags over Freda’s head.
Afterwards, he was seen on CCTV to calmly walk away from the couple’s house - where he had left Freda, 86, fatally wounded – and Kenneth, 88, a member of Shirebrook Town Council and previously a councillor on Bolsover district council, fighting for his life.
