Gazette Live - News - Local News - I'm a thief not a killer, murder accused tells court: "Steven Hodgson, 33, told a jury: “I didn’t murder her. I’m not a murderer. I’ve burgled houses and I’ve burgled old people’s houses.
“I burgled her house, but I didn’t kill her.”
He says he burgled the widow’s Stockton home - not the night of her death, but the previous night - and left unnoticed.
He admits he stole her belongings, used her cash card to withdraw hundreds of pounds and got his partner to sell her jewellery to pawnbrokers."
