Bedfordshire lagoon murder victim 'tortured for cash'

Michael Gilbert's headless body was found at a gravel pit pool

A "vulnerable" man was kept as a slave and tortured for his benefit money before his headless body was dumped in a Bedfordshire lake, a court has heard.
The decapitated body of 26-year-old Michael Gilbert was found in the Blue Lagoon in Arlesey last May.
James Watt, 27, is accused of murder and familial homicide. Brother Robert Watt, 20, faces the same charges.
Luton Crown Court heard Mr Gilbert was forced to sleep handcuffed to a bed to stop him escaping.
The Watt brothers, of Chertsey Close, Luton, deny murdering Mr Gilbert on or about 21 January last year.
The prosecution said the victim had suffered years of violence before being killed, his body dismembered and head cut off.

I live in Arlesey

there was so many posters and shiz all over the place. And bare people have drowned and died at the blue lagoon.

This is just terrible. Thank goodness they passed a law that people who just stand by and let it happen can be prosecuted as well.

It's horrible to think he knew what was happening to him, but due to his disabilities he probably felt frightened and confused and didn't know who to contact or how

I saw this on the news today. It's completely sickening. They showed the women and the mens' mother walking into court - if I'd been there I'd have been throwing all sorts at them.
