Couple guilty of ‘savage’ murder of Irish landlady, 93

AN estate agent and her young lover are facing life imprisonment after being found guilty of the “savage” murder of their 93-year-old Irish-born landlady.

The pair, who hoped to get their hands on Bridget Skehan's £300,000 home, attacked the devout churchgoer and former socialite after she invited them in for a Christmas drink.

Inner London Crown Court heard the callous couple punched and stamped on the retired interior designer, before beating her with her walking sticks.
