Wilson Lee, who spent 11 years on the run, was 19 when he attacked Fu Kiu, 72, after she caught him rifling through her possessions.

Lee, 31, told the High Court he had been hunting for her valuables because he wanted to return to his mother in the Caribbean.

But the Trinidadian-born cook said he had lost control when Fu started insulting him and his mother.

He told the jury: 'I made a hole in one of her chests. I reached in and rummaged around. When I looked round my aunt was there.

'I was shocked. I didn't know what she had seen me do. She became enraged. She started yelling. She tried to slap me in the face. She called me a thief and a degenerate.

'I said I wanted to go to Trinidad to my mother. She said, 'Your mother doesn't want you. You're useless.' She called my mother a tart and a whore.
