Man Admits Murdering Disabled Woman

January 12, 2010

A man has pleaded guilty to murdering a disabled 62-year-old Essex woman as she sat in a car outside her home.

Jennifer North, also known as Jennifer Macaree, was stabbed in her Vauxhall Corsa in Hadley Grange, Harlow, in the early hours of 28 February 2009.

Scott Riley, 26, from Parsonage Leys in Harlow, admitted her murder at Chelmsford Crown Court earlier.

Riley was remanded in custody and will be sentenced at a later date, which has not yet been fixed.

Ms North was found in the car and taken to Princess Alexandra Hospital where she died a short time later.

Det Supt Tracy Hawkings said: “To this day Scott Riley has not given any reason why he stabbed Jennifer North.

“She was a disabled woman who would have been completely incapable of defending herself against such a frenzied attack.

“Her murder has left her family with many unanswered questions and without a much-loved mother, nan and great-nan.”
