A man who murdered his 60-year-old love rival and refused to reveal where the body was hidden has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 26 years.
Dwayne Cupidon, 26, was convicted of killing George Smith, who disappeared in August 2009 from north London.
His body has not been found but traces of his body tissue were found in the bathroom of his flat in Barnet.
Cupidon murdered Mr Smith who was in an on-off relationship with his former girlfriend, the Old Bailey heard.
Shortly before the murder Kerry Mustoe, 30, had split up with Cupidon, of no fixed address, and sent Mr Smith to her ex-boyfriend's house to collect her things, Crispin Aylett QC, prosecuting, said.
The father-of-three removed a small safe containing ÂŁ14,000 from Cupidon's home at the time, along with Miss Mustoe's belongings, and the pair then used the money for a luxurious stay at a hotel in Devon.
