FamilyA person has been found guilty of killing a woman who was found dead in a house in Staffordshire.
44 -year -old Wayne Bond was convicted of killing 31 -year -old Rebecca Simkin on Newport Road, Stafford between 24 and 26 July 2024.
His test in Stafford Crown Court lasted 10 days, and he will be sentenced on Friday.
In a statement, Ms. Simkin’s mother and stepfather, Julie and Michael Rigger said that she was “a wonderful mother and loving daughter,” adding: “Becky had her faults, but she was never entitled to die like this.”
“Becky was tragically subjected to a violent attack,” said Gina Pope, detail inspector of Staffordshire Police, which sadly caused him to die. “
“Bond showed complete cowardice to report Becky’s death and fail to fail to leave him in his flat for several days and fail to give evidence during testing.”
Staffordshire PolicePolice said CCTV footage showed Bond and Ms. Simkin on Newport Road, Stafford at around 19:40 on 23 July 2024.
Ms. Simkin can be clearly seen without any injury, she said.
The footage at 21:15 showed him entering the Bond flat in the Eagle House, providing temporary accommodation for single people between the age of 18–64, which is facing homeless.
Police said that Ms. Simkin did not stay in the Eagle House.
He said that he was signed, but was never signed and no CCTV was seen after that time.
He said that many residents said that they heard a woman shouting in late July 25 and early 26 July.
Officials said the bonds returned to their flat on July 29 and told a member of the staff that a woman who was living in her room died.
He said that he has a squabal.
The body of Ms. Simkin was wrapped in a blanket under an upper couch and was declared dead by paramedics some time later.
