A retired bookmaker was murdered by his wife and daughter who went on to pretend he was alive and claim his pension, a court has heard.
Don Banfield was 63 when he was last seen leaving the family home in Harrow, north-west London, in May 2001.
Shirley Banfield, 64, and Lynette Banfield, 40, of Ashford Road, Canterbury, Kent, deny murder.
They have pleaded guilty to charges of fraud, forgery and conspiracy to pervert justice at the Old Bailey.
Mr Banfield had recently retired from running the Hampstead branch of William Hill bookmakers. His body has never been found.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
