On the second day of the trial of Vasile Culea the jury was shown a CCTV recording tracking Culea's movement on the day of the attack.
Culea, 33, appeared in the court after 86-year-old Freda was beaten to death and her husband was left for dead following an attack at their Langwith Junction home – to rob them of £30,000 in cash.

Hide AdA concerned neighbour found Freda dead in the kitchen, ‘hog-tied’ by her wrists and right ankle, with a pillow case and a black bin-liner over her head.
Blood had ‘heavily pooled around her body’ and a post-mortem revealed she received ‘multiple blunt force injuries’.
Ken, who had also been gagged and bound, survived with similar injuries, but died in August from natural causes.
Culea of Grove Road, Church Warsop, pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Freda and inflicting grievous bodily harm on Ken, on Tuesday morning. He denies her murder and inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent, as well as the attempted murder of Ken.
