A man in the United Kingdom killed his ‘close friend’ and stored her dismembered body in a freezer for around three years, the BBC reported.
The remains were kept along with the bodies of her five pet guinea pigs, according to the report.
The report mentioned that Gordon has admitted killing Delia. Now, he claimed that he did it in self-defence. Gordon did not appear in the dock at Liverpool Crown Court. He was tracked when suspicious inquiries were made regarding her state benefits. It prompted police to search the flat in St Helens, Merseyside, in January this year.
“Unbeknown to them, but known very well to the defendant, Delia McInerney had died in April 2023, at the defendant’s hands. Her dismembered body was found in a chest freezer in the defendant’s flat on January 8 this year,” prosecutor Martin Reid told the Court, as quoted by Cornwall Live .
Initially, he told police he had hit her with a hammer to “end her suffering” after she had taken an overdose. Investigators told the jury that the killing took place just days before McInerney was planning to move to Portugal for a “new life”. As per the report, when officers led Gordon away in handcuffs, he reportedly confessed to the grim reality, telling them, “She’s in there” and “She’s in the freezer”.
The chilling murder trial has begun, with prosecutors revealing details of the case in court. 65-year-old George Gordon allegedly murdered his close friend and roommate, 64-year-old Delia McInerney , in April 2023, according to Liverpool Crown Court.
