Carole Waugh Murder: Man Found Guilty

A man who took more than £200,000 from a wealthy businesswoman in the four months after her death has been found guilty of her murder.

Rakesh Bhayani was convicted by a jury at the Old Bailey of killing 50-year-old Carole Waugh, who was stabbed to death at her flat in Marylebone, central London, last April.

His co-accused, Nicholas Kutner, 48, was found not guilty of murder but convicted of perverting the course of justice.

Ms Waugh's body was found in a rented garage in New Malden, southwest London, nearly four months after she disappeared.

During that time, Bhayani withdrew money from Ms Waugh's accounts and on one occasion pretended to be her brother in an attempt to sell her £600,000 home.

He also hired a number of women to impersonate her and buy expensive handbags from Chanel and Selfridges.

The 41-year-old claimed in court that he only found out about Ms Waugh's death seven days after she was killed.

He said he did not contact police because he was involved in a fraud with Kutner and Ms Waugh and feared he would be linked to her murder.

Bhayani, of Wembley, northwest London, told the court that he went with Kutner to Ms Waugh's flat to remove her body from under a bed.

He said he put the corpse into a bag which was carried to a blue Volkswagen Golf that was initially left in a central London car park before being driven to the lock-up.

Bhayani admitted perverting the course of justice by concealing Ms Waugh's death and also conspiracy to defraud.

Kutner, of Kentish Town, northwest London, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud.

A third man, 40-year-old Elie Khoury, of Paddington, central London, was cleared of conspiracy to defraud.

Bhayani and Kutner are due to be sentenced on Thursday.
