<\/p>\nCHILLING photos show a killer moving a bin where he dumped the body of a missing woman he murdered before she was incinerated.<\/p>\n
Maureen Gitau, 24, was last seen leaving her home in Deptford, South East London, where she had earlier celebrated her aunt's birthday.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
She told her family she was going to meet Mark Moodie, a caretaker she had grown close to while working at the Oval cricket ground.<\/p>\n
The killer took Maureen to a block of flats where he worked but she never left the building alive.<\/p>\n
Moodie has now been found guilty of murdering Maureen, whose body has still not been found.<\/p>\n
The 55-year-old was captured on CCTV moving a large communal waste bin around the basement of Richmond House in Deptford.<\/p>\n
The Old Bailey was told Moodie dumped Maureen's body in the bin and covered her with trash.<\/p>\n This rubbish was collected a few days later and taken to a processing plant where she would have been "inevitably" incinerated".<\/p>\n Police launched a huge search – trawling through 500 hours of CCTV from doorbells, buses and shops.<\/p>\n They also sifted through 2,750 tonnes of waste that was delivered to a site in Essex by 125 trucks.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n This involved 60 officers each day – totalling 20,000 search hours.<\/p>\n Despite the mammoth search, Maureen's body has still not been found.<\/p>\n Detective Chief Inspector Kate Blackburn, said: "My thoughts today are with Maureen's family, who have been cruelly prevented from putting a much loved daughter, sister, niece and cousin to rest. I am glad we have, been able to bring to justice the man responsible for her death<\/p>\n "Mark Moodie murdered Maureen and then disposed of her body. He has never admitted any responsibility and told lie after lie after lie. <\/p>\n "He is a contemptible individual and I am glad the jury has seen through his deceit and found him guilty or Maureen's murder.<\/p>\n "My team spent many months investigating Maureen\u2019s murder, their professionalism and dedication is just one example of the Met's determination to bring killers to justice. <\/p>\n "Once we realised how Moodie had disposed of Maureen's body, we carried out one of the largest searches of waste the Met has ever seen. <\/p>\n "We were desperate to find her, for the sake of her family, and it will always be a regret that she was gone by the time we understood what Moodie had done with her body."<\/p>\n Moodie was remanded into custody to be sentenced at a later date.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/newspress-collage-24764720-1700168527001.jpg\")
