In March 2014, poker player Mehmet Hassan was found dead in his London flat after his sister became concerned about his welfare and called the police. The police suspected that it was a premeditated burglary and it didn't take long before they arrested and charged three people (Leonie Granger, Kyrron Jackson and Nicholas Chandler) with murder, robbery and false imprisonment.
This week, the trial began at the Old Bailey (also known as Justice Hall). BBC News England reported that Mehmet Hassan, 56, was bound with parcel tape and a neck tie and then kicked and stamped to death. While he lay dead, the trio filmed themselves throwing £50 notes around and celebrating, before looking around his home for more cash.
Miss Granger, 25, is being accused of murder and false imprisonment, which she denies. Her boyfriend Kyrron Jackson and his friend Nicholas Chandler, both 28, are further accused of robbing Mr Hassan.
