Eliza Bibby: Man found guilty of Wisbech woman's murder

Cameras captured Jamie Boughen travelling to and from Eliza Bibby's address the evening before her body was found

A man has been found guilty of killing a woman found dead with multiple stab wounds at her home.

Eliza Bibby, 47, was discovered at Beechwood Avenue, Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, on 10 January.

A trial heard she "effectively ran a drug store" from her home and Jamie Boughen, 47, of Waterlees Road, in the town, bought drugs from her.

Boughen had denied murder at Cambridge Crown Court. He will be sentenced at a later date.

She lived alone in the Fenland town of Wisbech before her death in January

Claire Matthews, counsel for the prosecution, said Ms Bibby sold prescription and controlled drugs from her bungalow, with the back door usually unlocked.

Boughen was captured on cameras leaving his shared accommodation at 19:11 GMT on 9 January and going to Ms Bibby's, before returning to his home at 19:47, the jury was told.

The court heard he was filmed leaving his home again at 22:42, arriving at Ms Bibby's address at about 22:45.

He returned home at 23:05, where cameras showed him putting bleach and water into a bucket after going into the utility room.

Boughen carried out a laundry wash using the bleach he had collected earlier, the prosecution said.

A post-mortem examination revealed Ms Bibby had multiple abrasions and bruising to the head, neck, arms, and legs, one deep stab wound to the neck and three further stab wounds.

A 21cm (8.2in) knife that caused the deep stab wound was recovered on the roof of some garages near Ms Bibby's home, the prosecution said.

Traces of DNA belonging to her and Boughen were found on it, the court was told.

The court heard he had known Ms Bibby all his life was "shocked and horrified at being accused".
