One of two teenage burglars accused of murdering an 83 year old pensioner in Belfast claimed yesterday his co accused was the killer.

Giving evidence on his own behalf, Mr Colin King (18) told Belfast Crown Court that he watched his co accused, Mr Adrian Wilson, kick the body of the retired school teacher after he had stabbed her five times.

Both Mr King, from Newington Avenue, and Mr Wilson, of Cavehill Road, admit burgling Mrs Bessie Robson's home on Bellevue, but deny murdering her on December 29th, 1994.
