The couple booked a hotel on the same day through Booking. They stayed on and off at the Simpson Street hotel during the following days while they made several purchases on different cards belonging to Mr Murphy. Osei told jurors Cristea knew nothing about the plan and never mentioned the use of Scopolamine to Cristea.

Osei said: 'She was doing it for me. What I'm saying is that she wasn't in on it.
She was angry with the method. Following the verdict, Mr Murphy's brother, Robert Murphy, paid tribute to the 'inspirational Irishman' and said his death had 'left a huge void' within the family. Pictured: Mr Murphy in the US. Osei, of Kerswell Close, Seven Sisters, admitted manslaughter, seven counts of fraud, and an alternative charge of administering poison, with intent to injure, aggrieve, or annoy any other person. Cristea, of Springfield Road, Tottenham Hale, pleaded guilty to one count of fraud and two counts of handling stolen goods.
As well as being convicted of murder, the pair were also found guilty of poisoning by administering a substance to endanger life, two counts of theft and eight counts of fraud by a unanimous jury verdict.
Detective Chief Inspector Robert Pack welcomed the closing of the 'protracted and complex' case. Speaking outside court following the verdict, he said: 'Osei and Cristea have been described by the prosecution as a pair of ruthless grifters, and to my mind that is correct.
Mr Park added that the conviction appeared to be the first for scopolamine-related homicide in the UK. Croydon Crown Court pictured heard that paramedics had attended to another man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, several days earlier, who had also been drugged and robbed by Osei.

Hi there. My name is David and I am a very clean and tidy 40yr old gay professional male who works in South London.

He would bring a lot to a welcoming household and also gets on with other dogs.
As I work in South London, that's really my area of choice. Not fussy about zones but would need to be able to walk to a rail station.
