LONDON—A judge has jailed two men for life for the “brutal” murder of a wealthy British Chinese pensioner who fell for a property scam and he said they had showed a “complete disregard” for her family.

Last month Kusai Al-Jundi, 25, and Mohamed El-Abboud, 28, were convicted of murdering Louise Kam, 71, who was last seen alive on a CCTV camera entering a house in Barnet, north London, in July 2021. Her body was later found in a wheelie bin which had been left on the drive of Al-Jundi’s parents’ home in Harrow.
