George Gordon, 65, stands accused of murdering his friend Delia McInerney, 62, in April 2023, days before she was due to move to Portugal. Her dismembered body was found in a freezer in Gordon's flat in St Helens, Merseyside, in January this year. Gordon, who denies murder, claims he acted in self-defence. The trial at Liverpool Crown Court continues.
The court heard that Gordon, who did not appear in the dock, had lied to McInerney's friends for over 18 months about her whereabouts and pretended to be her on email and phone messages. He allegedly bought a sledgehammer and a handsaw before killing McInerney and her five guinea pigs, which were also found in the freezer.
