A killer recruited his 70-year-old mother, his brother, and two friends to move the body of a London drug dealer and set it on fire after he was beaten to death in a row over £40,000 ($49,800) worth of missing cocaine, a court has heard.
Home Office pathologist Dr. Robert Chapman told a trial at the Old Bailey in London on Apr. 28 that he could not confirm a cause of death for 23-year-old Jean Loeike Guei but he said he had suffered “blunt trauma” injuries to the face and head. Chapman said he may have died of a blocked airway as he lay unconscious after being assaulted.
