Read our privacy policy The body of a wealthy retiree was hidden in a graveyard “in plain sight” for 15 months as her alleged killer stole money and jewellery in preparation for a new life in Canada, a court has heard. A post-mortem examination found blunt force injury to both sides of Ms Girolami’s chest, rib fractures, and bruising “consistent with third party assault”. Outlining the case against the defendant, Ms Ledward said: “The defendant planned to kill Norma Girolami and to disguise her body by burying it. Ms Ledward said: “This was but one of several steps he took to try and better cover his tracks, to accelerate getting hold of the money and to plot his escape to a new life in Canada.” Kaygusuz has admitted perverting the course of justice by concealing Ms Girolami’s body, and the theft of her house keys, bank cards and jewellery.
