The trial of the teenager accused of murdering 52-year-old Laila Rezk in Kingston Vale started today at Kingston Crown Court.
Lloyd Edwards, 18, from Roehampton, has admitted killing mum-of-two Mrs Rezk in her home in Robin Hood Lane on November 30 last year but has denied murder.
After swearing in the jury, the judge Mr Justice Calvert-Smith adjourned the trial, which will resume on Wednesday.
