Former Salford conman awaits murder trial verdict

The jury in the trial of a convicted conman accused of murdering his gay lover in a hotel room has retired to consider its verdict.

Glenn Rycroft, 33, denies murdering Gareth MacDonald, 30, from Prestatyn, Denbighshire, in a Travelodge hotel near London on 14 September 2007.

Mr Rycroft, originally from Salford but now from Flintshire, is accused of using a fire extinguisher to kill him.
The Old Bailey has heard being a conman did not make him guilty of murder.

Mr Rycroft, a former British Airways steward, was previously jailed for four years after he swindled relatives with an investment scam then took more money from them by pretending he had terminal cancer.
