Filthy greed
Two seventy year old women were convicted today of the premeditated murder of a couple of homeless men. Not once, but twice the pair took a homeless man in, housed him, fed him, cared for him. All along though the women were planning the murders of the men. They preyed on those members of society that most of us don’t even see, let alone care about.
Helen Golay, 77, and Olga Rutterschmidt, 75 had taken huge life insurance policies out first on Kenneth McDavid in 1999, and then on Paul Vados in 2005. These women were after money. Nothing else. Greed drove these septagenarians to commit the most unthinkable crime. Cold blooded, premeditated murder.
Police became suspicious after the pair of women made two life insurance claims under almost identical circumstances. Both men had died with trauma to their upper bodies. The women had run both of them over with their 1999 Mercury Sable. The women were sentenced to life in prison, but at the ages of 75 and 77 that surely won’t be very long.
You can come together to remember our ‘forgotten’ members of society - the homeless here at Respectance.
