Pair found guilty of farmer murder
Two men who battered a widowed farmer to death in his own home have been found guilty of murder.
Llywelyn Thomas, 76, was found dead in his home in Cambridgeshire on December 18 after neighbours became concerned that the lights had been left on all night.
Gary Smith, 21, of Fen Road travellers' site, Chesterton,and his nephew, Frankie Parker, 26, of Nene Road, Ely, had both denied murdering Mr Thomas as they burgled the property in Ely Road, Chittering, the previous night.
But today a jury at Cambridge Crown Court found both men guilty of murder after less than two hours of deliberations.
They will be sentenced tomorrow.
