Pensioner, 77, 'battered to death with a hammer for handbag after she was conned by Age UK leaflet in targeted attack', court hears

A frail woman was battered to death with a hammer after her killer tricked his way into her home by posing as a volunteer from the charity Age UK, a court heard yesterday.

Judith Richardson, 77, was murdered after she opened the front door of her modest ground-floor flat to 48-year-old Graeme Jarman, the jury was told.

The pensioner, who had never married and lived alone with her dog Hamish, was hit in the head at least 30 times by Jarman, it heard.
