A jury has retired to consider whether a Polish cleaner is guilty of killing her employer and dumping the body in an Oxfordshire field.

Jolanta Kalinowsica, 41, denies killing Thea Zaudy, 94, whose battered body was found in a suitcase on a pile of burning manure near Milton Common last July.

Kalinowsica, of Cavendish Avenue, Ealing, denies murder. Three others have denied assisting an offender.

The jury at Oxford Crown Court retired at about noon today to consider their verdict.
