A man has admitted killing an artist and keeping her remains in a freezer alongside her guinea pigs.

What it means

George Gordon has admitted to killing artist Delia McInerney and storing her dismembered remains in a freezer alongside her pet guinea pigs, which were also dead. The case is being heard at Liverpool Crown Court, with Gordon also pleading guilty to preventing a lawful burial and fraud. The killing allegedly occurred in April 2023, and the body was kept for three years before discovery.

Accuracy & sourcesGrounded

The claim is based on admissions made by the defendant in court, as reported by multiple reputable news outlets covering the trial. The primary source is the court proceedings; the reporting is a reputable secondary account, though the headline may simplify the legal position—Gordon denies murder but has pleaded guilty to other offences.
