Prosecutors alleged the defendants, described in court as “extreme” hoarders, left Julie to suffer “dreadful” injuries “surrounded by filth and squalor” for around two weeks in January 2019, before she died of extreme ulcerations. “You have both been on unconditional bail throughout the proceedings and therefore I am going to extend your bail until that sentencing hearing.” Opening the case against the father and son last month, prosecutor Timothy Cray QC told the jury: “Parts of the evidence, at least at the start, are shocking and I’m afraid they might cause you feelings of disgust and even revulsion. “She died, I’m afraid, from dreadful injuries and surrounded by filth and squalor, in the home she shared with the defendants, her own father and her own brother.
