UK lunatic killed roommate, stashed butchered body in freezer for 3 years with slain guinea pigs
Key Points:
- George Gordon, 65, is on trial for allegedly killing his close friend and roommate Delia McInerney in April 2023 and hiding her dismembered body in a freezer for nearly three years, alongside five guinea pigs he reportedly drowned.
- Prosecutors claim Gordon murdered McInerney after learning she planned to move permanently to Portugal, then drained her bank accounts and racked up £22,000 in credit card debt in her name.
- Gordon allegedly impersonated McInerney in messages to her friends and family for 18 months to conceal her disappearance, while also buying tools and anatomy books prior to the killing.
- The prosecution states Gordon drowned the guinea pigs, which McInerney was devoted to and intended to take to Portugal, to avoid raising suspicion about her absence.
- Gordon initially gave conflicting accounts of McInerney’s death, claiming either mercy killing or self-defense, and visited her Portugal home shortly after the murder, according to prosecutors.
