An Iranian immigrant has been found guilty of strangling an elderly widow to avoid being thrown off his allotment.
Rahim Mohammadi, 42, killed Lea Adri-Soejoko, 80, with a lawnmower flex and hid her body at the Colindale allotments in north west London in February last year.
The allotment secretary was found dead in a locked mower shed after her family raised concerns that she had failed to turn up at a meeting.
She was wearing Wellington boots and an apron and had her keys in her pocket.
Kurdish Mohammadi, 42, of Hackney, east London, was found today guilty of her murder following a retrial at the Old Bailey.
Prosecutor John Price QC had told jurors the Iranian had a reputation for having a 'volatile' temper.
He had been involved with the allotment since 2008 through Freedom from Torture, an organisation helping torture victims suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
In September 2016, he clashed with Mrs Adri-Soejoko at an allotment association meeting.
Mr Price said the defendant had ambitions to take over running the allotment, making Mrs Adri-Soejoko wary of him.
During a heated discussion over evictions, she had told him to 'shut up' and Mohammadi called her a 'bloody old witch', the court heard.
In February last year, Mohammadi beat up Mrs Adri-Soejoko on the allotment, causing bruises and fractures to the ribs.
The prosecution alleged he then throttled her with the mower flex to stop her from reporting the attack, which would have led to his eviction.
Mr Price said: 'Mrs Adri-Soejoko was beaten up. That in turn does point to a motive for her murder - to avoid detection for a shocking and very serious assault on a vulnerable old lady.'

The victim's body was locked up in the mower shed, which only four key-holders had access to, including Mohammadi and Mrs Adri-Soejoko, whose set were in her pocket.
The prosecution said Mohammadi had planned to move her to avoid suspicion being cast at him, but police following the sound of her ringing phone found the body before he could act.
His DNA was found on the cord used to strangle her and he was caught on CCTV coming and going from the allotment, jurors were told.
In police interviews, Mohammadi gave different and inconsistent accounts of his movements.
DNA belonging to a second suspect was retrieved from the victim's right hand, but extensive inquiries found he had been nowhere near Colindale.
The court heard Mohammadi sought political asylum in Britain in 2005 and was given indefinite leave to remain in 2010.
Giving evidence, he said he had gone to the allotments to buy opium for his bad back on the day of the killing.
He claimed he heard shouting but dismissed it as a drunken fight.
Mrs Adri-Soejoko's children and grandchildren attended court throughout the trial.
The defendant made no reaction as the jury delivered its guilty verdict, watched in silence by his victim's family who held hands in court.
But as he was led from the dock, Mohammadi turned to the jury and said: 'You will have that on your conscience sending an innocent man to prison.'
Judge Richard Marks QC adjourned sentencing until Friday.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
