1/31/2024 In the strange but true category. Confused Holy Spirit appoints killer servant. "" A twisted Jehovah's Witness bludgeoned a woman he rowed with over incomplete building works to death with a hammer, then merrily whistled as he packed up his tools and went to lead a service at the church where they met. "
"Cowboy builder Peter Norgrove, 43, was recorded whistling as he packed away his tools as victim Sharon Gordon, who he was doing work for, lay dying – and that evening the Jehovah’s Witness led a service for worshippers via Zoom at the local Kingdom Hall.
The court heard that Ms Gordon had been introduced to Norgrove - who had recently retrained as a builder - by a friend, and commissioned him to build a ground-floor extension after he successfully undertook some fencing work for her.
But a job that he estimated would take between four and six weeks ended up talking 15 months, and was still not finished when he finally killed her, a judge was told this afternoon.
Norgrove took a lump hammer and gloves to the property in Dudley, West Midlands, which he donned before killing her last July.
Ms Gordon, 58, suffered at least eight blows to the head in what a judge described as a ‘brutal and savage attack’, and lay dying at the foot of her staircase for up to an hour following the attack.
