A robber has been found guilty of killing a pensioner before he and his girlfriend looted £13,000 from her bank account in a “massive spending spree”.
Xyaire Howard, 23, bound and strangled Susan Hawkey, 71, to extract her bank card PIN, jurors were told.
Some 20 days later, Ms Hawkey’s decomposing body was discovered under a duvet in the living room of her home in Neasden, north-west London, jurors were told.
