Two men have been given life sentences for murdering a businesswoman after a £4.6m plan to “plunder” her property went wrong.
Louise Kam, 71, disappeared in July 2021 and was later found dumped in a rubbish bin.
Kusai Al-Jundi, 25, of Harrow, London, and Romanian national Mohamed El-Abboud, 28, were convicted of murder on 19 January.
Both were sentenced to life with a minimum term of 35 years.
The plan was “hatched” by Al-Jundi who worked as a chef at a restaurant in Willesden, north-west London.
He had spent months befriending Ms Kam, from Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, and trying to deceive her into giving him control of two properties she owned in Willesden and East Barnet.
He also wanted her to sign over control of her finances to him.
Judge Mark Lucraft said Al-Jundi had told Ms Kam “lie after lie” in a “cynical deception” to defraud her.
