XYAIRE HOWARD JAILED FOR MURDER AND FRAUD OF VULNERABLE WOMAN
A 24-year-old man named Xyaire Howard was convicted for the violent killing of 71-year-old Susan Hawkey, a woman who lived alone in Neasden, northwest London.
Howard detained her by binding her and removing her clothing to force her to disclose her identification number, then strangled her to prevent her from blocking her bank card.
After the murder, he and Chelsea Grant, his accomplice, embarked on an extravagant shopping spree totaling around £13,000.
They carried out 146 fraudulent transactions, drastically reducing her bank account from over £16,000 to approximately £3,434.
Her body remained covered with a duvet at her residence for nearly three weeks before being found.
Howard was found guilty of murder, multiple counts of theft, attempted theft, and fraud; he was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 31 years.
The judge highlighted that his conduct was calculated and driven by greed, noting that he actively terrorized the victim to obtain her PIN code in a cold and deliberate manner.
