Evil Brit: See the 78-year-old Pensioner Who Killed His Own Partner With a Stick in the Kitchen

 

Charlie Bevill-Warcup was jailed for 14 years for killing Rosemary Broadwell 

An old man is being made to pay for his unbelievably criminal act after he was found out to have murdered his own partner.

 

Charlie Bevill-Warcup, a British OAP has been sentenced to 14 years in jail after being convicted of killing his expat partner with his walking stick.

 

According to Daily Star UK, Charlie Bevill-Warcup, a 78-year-old, from Hull, was found guilty by a jury of ending Rosemary Broadwell’s life at their Costa Blanca home on September 14, 2014, and dumping her body before reporting her missing and keeping up the pretence for six months.

 

Her decomposing remains were found in a shallow grave in nearby Algorfa on March 9, 2015, after he was arrested by police and confessed to the crime.

 

He protested his innocence in front of a jury at a court in Elche during a trial earlier this month.

 

State prosecutors and a prosector acting for the victim’s family demanded he be convicted of murder and sentenced to up to 20 years in jail.

 

He was found guilty of the lesser charge of homicide under Spanish law at the end of the trial earlier this month – and the sentence was delivered in writing rather than in open court as is normal in Spain by the trial judge.

 

Rosemary, 76, from Hull, is understood to have been attacked in the kitchen of the home she shared with her killer in the Ciudad Quesada area of Rosales near Alicante.

 

Bevill-Warcup confessed to the crime after his arrest and showed detectives where he had buried her.

 

Jurors heard he pretended to search for her the day after killing her before putting her body in the boot of his Seat Cordoba car and driving it to the spot where he buried her.

 

He reported her missing three days later, telling officers she had vanished after he dropped her off at a cashpoint and sparking the police investigation which eventually led to his arrest.

 

He is believed to have told a court where he was first questioned in a private hearing after his arrest that he was drunk when he attacked Rosemary.

 

Rosemary’s daughter Cheryl Webster was in Spain appealing for information on her mum’s whereabouts when she received the news her body had been found.

 

Jurors decided Bevill-Warcup’s fate on a 7-2 majority verdict and dismissed claims his behaviour was influenced by alcohol or a mental disorder.

 

It is not yet clear if his lawyer will appeal.
