An intruder charged with murdering an 86-year-old woman and trying to kill her husband has told a jury he planned to search for cash at their home after overhearing two strangers talking about a “wealthy house” in their village.
Vasile Culea is accused of intending death or at least serious harm when he attacked, gagged, “hog-tied” and then abandoned Freda and Kenneth Walker to their fate while looking for £30,000 in cash.
