An Afghan man accused of killing a British Christian woman has reportedly claimed in court that an "old man" persuaded him to move her body after her death, and later blackmailed him into stealing her money. The claim forms part of the defendant's account of events surrounding the killing, which is the subject of an ongoing criminal case in the UK.

According to the reports, the accused alleges he acted under pressure from this unnamed older man, who first convinced him to dispose of the victim's body and subsequently used the knowledge of the crime to coerce him into taking her money. Full details of the trial, including the victim's identity and the wider circumstances of her death, were not available in the material provided.
