The Murder of Bridie Skehan

Overview

Nimpha Ong and Ahmed Al-Haddad were tenants of 92-year-old Bridget 'Bridie' Skehan, a wealthy former socialite, at her Bayswater flat when they brutally beat her to death in a gratuitously savage attack in December 2002, in a bid to get their hands on her fortune. Her body was found in a shed to the rear of the building a few days later, having been bundled into a cardboard box and concealed. When the pair were arrested, they blamed each other for the crime but were both eventually convicted of murdering Bridie and given life sentences.
