IN THIS SUNDAY’S AS BRITISH SUMMERTIME OFFICIALLY ARRIVES… GIANT BOOBS ON THE BEACH AND LOADS MORE! GRINNING KILLERS’ SELFIE Woman tortured, raped and body burned in car

-

TWO convicted killers who met in prison teamed up to torture and murder a woman before dumping her body in a burning car while out on licence.

Maintenanc­e men Stephen Unwin, 40, and William McFall, 51, put Quyen Ngoc Nguyen through an horrific four-hour ordeal after she was lured to Unwin’s home.

Unwin was also convicted of her rape, but McFall, who even posed for a grinning selfie after the pair had committed their depraved crime, was cleared on that count.

At Newcastle Crown Court jury of eight women and four men deliberate­d for four hours before reaching their verdicts.

Firefighte­rs discovered Ms Nguyen’s badly burned body in the back of her Audi after it had been torched beside allotments last August.

The jury heard how her killers ate a curry they had cooked as their victim lay dying in the house.

The mother-of-two worked at her sister’s nail bar but also helped Vietnamese people find accommodat­ion when she came across Unwin, who worked for landlords maintainin­g various properties.

She would not have known he was a life prisoner out on VICTIM OF DEPRAVITY: Quyen Ngoc Nguyen licence for murdering a pensioner in 1998. Tellingly, he’d also set fire to his elderly victim’s house in a bid to cover his tracks.

McFall, of Northern Ireland, also murdered an OAP during a 1996 break-in.

The killers met in the prison system at HMP Swaleside, a Category B institutio­n, in Kent. They got in touch via Facebook after they were both released on licence.

They teamed up, working together legitimate­ly, but also stealing cannabis from farms they found in local properties.

They planned their depraved attack on the 5ft victim and Unwin tricked her into coming into his home in Tyne and Wear, where McFall was waiting.

The Irishman had texted Unwin earlier that evening saying: “We raping the chink”?

Before she was sexually assaulted, raped and killed, she had been forced to hand over her PIN numbers and Unwin withdrew £1,000 from her bank accounts at cashpoints that night.

Each of the defendants blamed the other, seemingly hoping to confuse the jury.

McFall wrote to Unwin while they were on remand saying he had been to the prison library and found a “legal loophole”.

The prosecutio­n claimed their loophole was simply to blame one another.

After the trial, the victim’s sister Quyhn Ngoc Nguyen branded the killers “evil” and added: “If these two were released in the future, innocent people could be harmed.” RAPIST: Unwin SICK: McFall
