MOHAMED EL-Abbout killed Louise Kam and disposed of her body in a dustbin as part of a plot to steal properties worth £4.6million. He and another assailant murdered the 71-year-old — the sickening crime is featured in C5’s The Body in the Bin: Who Killed Louise Kam?. Mohamed El-Abboud murdered Louise Kam on July 26, 2021, subsequently leaving her body in a dustbin. He was convicted alongside Kusai Al-Jundi.

Al-Jundi spent months befriending 71-year-old Louise and trying to persuade her to hand over control of her two properties — located in East Barnet and Willesden — to him. Collectively, the properties were worth £4.6million. El-Abboud, who was working as a delivery driver at the time, moved into one of Louise’s properties and began posting videos online mocking her wealth. When Al-Jundi failed to get Louise to sign a lasting power of attorney document, he lured her with his accomplice to her Barnet property.

There she was strangled to death. Louise’s body was then wrapped in a duvet and dumped into a wheelie bin before the pair covered her body with garden rubbish. Al-Jundi and Mohammed attempted to cover up their crime by moving the bin to a road in Harrow and lining it up with other bins, showing the same number on the front. Al-Jundi sent messages from Louise’s phone to her family, to create the pretence that she was still alive.
El-Abboud sold Louise’s car to buy clothes. The TikToker then showed off his dance moves as he gyrated on the driveway of the trusting pensioner's Barnet home. Both men were found guilty in February 2023. They were handed life sentences for their crimes, with a minimum term of 35 years. Judge Lucraft KC said: "El-Abboud, it might be said that Al-Jundi played the lead role in the long-running defrauding of Louise, but I draw no distinction on the sentence to be passed on the two of you.
"The evidence clearly shows what you did and did willingly and that you, along with Al-Jundi, did what you did out of greed.”. Louise's murder is the subject of the Channel 5 documentary The Body in the Bin: Who Killed Louise Kam?. It reveals El-Abboud’s shameless level of arrogance as he openly showed off on social media. The Body In The Bin airs on Channel 5 on Tuesday, February 18, 2025, at 10.30pm.
