A “parasitic” man befriended a wealthy older woman then killed her and buried the body to plunder her money, a court has heard.

Retiree Norma Girolami, 70,  gave 42-year-old Serkan Kaygusuz large amounts of cash, totalling nearly £300,000, after they met at a swimming pool in 2017, the Old Bailey was told.
