A man has admitted keeping a pensioner's body in a freezer for nearly two years but denies using his bank card to obtain cash.
Damion Johnson pleaded guilty at Derby Crown Court on Tuesday to keeping 71-year-old John Wainwright's body in the freezer of a property in Birmingham. Mr Wainwright died in September 2018 and was discovered in August 2020.
The offence is believed to have taken place when the pair lived in a flat in Cleveland Tower, Holywell Head, in Birmingham city centre, but Mr Wainwright's cause of death is yet to be ascertained.
