A killer who joked with police about the whereabouts of his victim, telling officers in a chilling moment that 'he's under my bed in my flat' faces years in jail after being convicted of murder.

Stephen Castle was yesterday found guilty of murdering Wayne Woodgate, 54, after a chance meeting in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.

The 59-year-old strangled Mr Woodgate, described as a 'much-loved' father and grandfather, over claims the latter was a 'grass'.

The killing was driven by a long-held grudge as Castle blamed Woodgate for tipping off police in 2015.

Castle had previously served seven-and-a-half years in prison after firearms were discovered in his home during a police raid.
