Man hid woman's body in freezer for three years, jury told
Prosecutors say he stole thousands from her accounts and posed as her for 18 months to hide the killing.
- On Wednesday, George Gordon, 65, went on trial at Liverpool Crown Court accused of murdering friend Delia McInerney in April 2023 and keeping her dismembered body in a chest freezer for nearly three years.
- After learning McInerney planned a 'new life' in Portugal, Gordon purchased a sledgehammer and handsaw, items prosecutors say were 'consistent with those that would later be used, or required, to kill and dismember' her.
- For more than 18 months, Gordon impersonated McInerney in messages to friends, while fraudulently obtaining thousands of pounds from her bank accounts and taking out a £10,000 loan in her name.
- Gordon's 'web of lies' unraveled in December 2025 when benefits officials flagged inconsistencies; police discovered the remains on January 8, 2026, after he allegedly told officers, "she's in there."
- Denying murder, Gordon claims he acted in self-defense after hitting McInerney with a hammer to "end her suffering." The trial before Mr Justice Goose is expected to last up to six weeks.
