An Iranian immigrant has been found guilty of strangling an elderly widow to avoid being thrown off his allotment.

Rahim Mohammadi, 42, killed Lea Adri-Soejoko, 80, with a lawnmower cord in February 2017 to silence her complaints about his violent behaviour on the Colindale allotments in north west London. 

The allotment secretary was found dead in a locked lawnmower shed wearing her Wellington boots, an apron with her keys in her pocket.   

Mohammadi, who was given his plot by a charity for Iranian torture victims, repeatedly clashed with Mrs Adri-Soejoko in the months leading up to her murder and accused her of a 'conspiracy' over the running of the vegetable garden.

He called her a f****** b**** and had flooded her with abusive emails.

Her body was found after her daughter Tessa raised concerns about her failing to turn up to a meeting.

When she accompanied police to the allotments she rang her mother's phone, which they heard coming from inside the shed - leading to the discovery of her body.  

Her murderer, of Hackney, east London, was today found guilty of her murder following a retrial at the Old Bailey.

Prosecutor John Price QC had told jurors Mohammadi had a reputation for having a 'volatile' temper.

He had been involved with the allotment since 2008 through Freedom from Torture, an organisation helping torture victims suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

In September 2016, he clashed with Mrs Adri-Soejoko at an allotment association meeting.

Mr Price said the defendant had ambitions to take over running the allotment, making Mrs Adri-Soejoko wary of him.

During a heated discussion over evictions, she had told him to 'shut up' and Mohammadi called her a 'bloody old witch', the court heard.

In February last year, Mohammadi beat up Mrs Adri-Soejoko on the allotment, causing bruises and fractures to the ribs.

The prosecution alleged he then throttled her with the mower flex to stop her from reporting the attack, which would have led to his eviction.

Mr Price said: 'Mrs Adri-Soejoko was beaten up. That in turn does point to a motive for her murder - to avoid detection for a shocking and very serious assault on a vulnerable old lady.'

The victim's body was locked up in the mower shed, which only four key-holders had access to, including Mohammadi and Mrs Adri-Soejoko.

The prosecution said Mohammadi had planned to move her to avoid suspicion, but police following the sound of her ringing phone found the body before he could act.

His DNA was found on the cord used to strangle her and he was caught on CCTV coming and going from the allotment, jurors were told.

In police interviews, Mohammadi gave different and inconsistent accounts of his movements.

DNA belonging to a second suspect was retrieved from the victim's right hand, but extensive inquiries found he had been nowhere near Colindale.

The court heard Mohammadi sought political asylum in Britain in 2005 and was given indefinite leave to remain in 2010.

Giving evidence, he said he had gone to the allotments to buy opium for his bad back on the day of the killing.

He claimed he heard shouting but dismissed it as a drunken fight.

Mrs Adri-Soejoko's children and grandchildren attended court throughout the trial.

Mohammadi did not react as the jury delivered its guilty verdict, watched in silence by his victim's family who held hands. 

But as he was led from the dock, Mohammadi turned to the jury and said: 'You will have that on your conscience sending an innocent man to prison.'

Judge Richard Marks QC adjourned sentencing until Friday.
