CHANNEL 5’s Body in the Bin details the grizzly murder of Louise Kam and the plot to steal her two properties, worth a combined total of £4.6million.
But who is Mohammed El-Abboud, one of the two men involved in the 71-year-old’s murder?
Mohammed El-Abboud murdered Louise Kam on July 26, 2021 and left her body in a dustbin.
He murdered Louise with the help of Kusai Al-Jundi.
Kusai spent months befriending the 71-year-old Louise and trying to persuade her to hand him control over her two properties, in East Barnet and Willesden.
Collectively, the properties were worth £4.6million.
Mohammed, who was working as a delivery driver at the time, moved into one of Louise’s properties and began posting videos online that mocked her wealth.
When Kusai failed to get Louise to sign a Lasting Power of Attorney document, he lured her with his accomplice to her Barnet property.
There she was strangled to death.
Louise’s body was then wrapped in a duvet and dumped into a wheelie bin before the pair covered her body with garden rubbish.
Kusai and Mohammed attempted to cover up their crime by moving the bin to a road in Harrow and lining it up with other bins, showing the same number on the front.
Kusai sent messages from Louise’s phone to her family, to create the pretense that she was still alive.
Mohammed sold Louise’s car to buy clothes and he posted a video dancing in the driveway of her Barnet home.
Both men were handed life sentences for their crimes, with a minimum term of 35 years.
Judge Lucraft KC said: “El-Abboud, it might be said that Al-Jundi played the lead role in the long-running defrauding of Louise, but I draw no distinction on the sentence to be passed on the two of you.
“The evidence clearly shows what you did and did willingly and that you, along with Al-Jundi, did what you did out of greed.”
Body in the Bin airs on Channel 5 on August 28, 2024.
The show will start at 9pm and run until 10pm, as it details Louise’s tragic murder.
If you can’t watch the show live, catch it on Channel 5’s streaming service My5.
