Jurors were told that William Regan and Lee Davies, who are accused of murder, then erected a flatpack shed on top of the teenager’s burial site. The court also heard that after arranging the ‘undignified and unlawful burial’, Regan phoned the victim’s girlfriend to ask whether she had seen him.

Ojerinola’s body was not uncovered until seven months after he disappeared during a police visit to Regan’s home. Regan and Davies, both 36, are said to have attacked Ojerinola at some point on April 11 or 12 last year but it was not until November 20 that police unearthed his remains. Source THE NATION 24.05.201
