‘My pet name for allotment killing victim’
A GARDENER accused of strangling a widow of 80 at allotments told a court they had pet names for each other.
Rahim Mohammadi, 42, allegedly killed allotments secretary Lea Adri-Soejoko with a mower cord and put her body in a shed.
But Mohammadi said they had “a nice feeling for each other” and he called her “little witch” while she called him her “puppy”.
Five months before the February 2017 killing they clashed at an allotments meeting where he called her a “f***ing bitch” and stormed out.
Mohammadi of Bethnal Green, East London, a Kurdish asylum-seeker from Iran, denies murder.
The trial at the Old Bailey continues.
