Sick videos reveal how twerking ‘Body in the Bin’ killers celebrated after dumping OAP’s corpse in trash in £4.6m scam
HE looked like any other TikToker showing off his dance moves as he gyrated on a driveway, but delivery driver Mohamed El-Abboud hid a dark secret.
Not only was he dancing outside a house he helped swindle from a trusting pensioner – he had brutally murdered his victim hours earlier, dumping her body in a wheelie bin.
Incredibly, he was caught after his accomplice asked three men to move the bin on to the drive of his OWN house in Harrow, London.
The twisted pair had hoped 72-year-old Louise Kam would, quite literally, be thrown out with the rubbish but El-Abboud and pal Kusai Al-Jundi were exposed in a plot to extort the wealthy pensioner out of £4.6million.
They were both jailed for life last February after a jury was left appalled by videos which showed him not only performing for TikTok but walking around Louise’s home talking about how luxurious it was.
The murder, subject of a new Channel 5 documentary called The Body in the Bin, reveals El-Abboud’s shameless level of arrogance as he openly showed off on social media.
He and kebab chef Kusai Al-Jundi, 25, spent months trying to trick Louise into handing over control of her multi-million pound property portfolio across London. They knew she wanted to sell up to help out her family.
After strangling Louise with the cord of a hairdryer, they even sent a text message from the businesswoman’s phone to her son Gregory, telling him she had decided to go to China for a while.
Within hours of killing Louise, El-Abboud, 28, had flogged her BMW for £1,450 on Facebook and bought clothes he then wore for TikTok videos – including one which showed the murder weapon in the background.
Former criminal barrister Helen Fields told The Sun how courts are seeing more and more criminals showing off on social media platforms.
She said: “Social media is an element that features more and more, but this TikTok dance by El Abboud was particularly awful because he appeared to be gloating over Louise’s death.
“It worries me that people are using social media to glamorise crime but people are also doing it in an increasingly ridiculous way in that they think they’re going to get away with it.
“People are coming into the legal system thinking they are somehow anonymous with a lack of understanding about how traceable they are.
“The law is constantly playing catch up with technology but it can also be very helpful in cases such as this.
“El-Abboud’s videos were hugely helpful because it really undermined any defence, particularly on videos which showed him wearing clothes he bought from selling Louise’s car.”
Syrian chef Al-Jundi met Louise in 2021 and managed to convince her he was a businessman with an investor who wanted to buy properties from her at the cost of £4.6million – more than the market rate.
In reality he was a cook who lived in his mum’s house with his wife and three children.
He managed to convince Louise to give him the keys to a luxury property in Barnet and friend El-Abboud moved into the house, treating it as his own and posting a video about ‘how the rich live’.
They put Louise in a wheelie bin…I just find it mind blowing
Ex Met boss Raj Kohli
When Louise went missing in July 2021 her son was immediately suspicious after receiving a text which read: “I have decided 2 go 2 China but will be back soon x’
Former chief superintendent Raj Kohli, of the Met Police, tells the documentary how police turned up at Louise’s property in Barnet to find El-Abboud living there.
CCTV cameras showed Louise entering the house the day she disappeared – never to emerge.
The sick duo were then caught on CCTV taking cleaning equipment from the kebab house where they worked to wipe clean the crime scene.
Raj said: “El Abboud and Al-Jundi went back to the property (Louise’s) where they wrapped her body in a duvet and plastic sheets and put it in a wheelie bin.
“On top of her body they placed garden waste. They called three men, who knew nothing about what had taken place, and asked ‘can you take this wheelie bin to Harrow?’, which they duly did.
“Al-Jundi then asked ‘can you place it on the driveway of the house that I live in?’. I just find that mind-blowing.”
The pair were caught when Louise’s body was discovered five days after she vanished.
A jumper containing Louise’s DNA was recovered and disposable gloves found in the wheelie bin were also covered in genetic material.
Helen Fields said the case was baffling because the pair had gone to extreme lengths to trick Louise into handing everything over to Al-Jundi.
She had even hired a solicitor out of her own pocket to give him power of attorney – despite bank bosses being suspicious of their motives.
'Lie after lie'
Jailing him and accomplice Mohamed El-Abboud for a minimum of 35 years each, Judge Mark Lucraft, told them in February last year: “You did what you did out of greed.”
The Old Bailey heard how the plan to defraud Louise was “hatched” by Al-Jundi who was as a chef at a restaurant in Willesden, north-west London, where Al-Abboud also worked making deliveries.
Al-Jundi spent months befriending Louise, from Potters Bar, Herts, and trying to trick her into giving him control of two houses she owned in Willesden and East Barnet.
He was described as a “Walter Mitty” character who claimed to have the backing of a multi-millionaire girlfriend.
He offered Louise millions for the houses so she could use the money to pay off a mortgage and buy property for her children.
Meanwhile, he persuaded her to give him the keys of a property at Gallants Farm Road, East Barnet, which he handed to El-Abboud who began living there.
The court heard that, having deciding to murder Louise to get hold of her homes, he promised El-Abboud a share “as a reward for killing her”.
In a victim impact statement, Louise’s son Gregory Kam said the family had been left in a state of “disbelief” at what had happened to his mother.
He said: “I deeply regret I was not able to do enough at the time to prevent my mother from falling for the lies of his wolf in sheep’s clothing.
“In addition to the initial shocking news of our mother’s disappearance and subsequent news of her murder, I was not only shocked but further angered and sickened to discover defendant one [Al-Jundi] enlisted the help of an accomplice to trick, entrap, overpower and murder a pension-age woman in her own home under the guise of what was supposed to be a business deal.”
Helen said: “These weren’t completely stupid men.
“They had spun a web of lies to make Louise, who was a clever businesswoman, believe they were genuine yet after they killed her they were always going to get caught.
“They picked their victim very, very well because, despite being warned by family, friends, solicitors and even her bank. Louise was so vulnerable and desperate to help her family by selling properties that she fell for their lies.
“In spite of all their sophistication in planning fraud, after the killing they failed in basic hurdles such as forensics, being the last people to be seen with Louise when she was alive and leaving their DNA everywhere.”
The Body in the Bin is on Channel 5 at 9pm tomorrow night.
