FROM JOHN JEFFAY AT CASCADE NEWS LTD    0161 660 8087 /  07771 957773  john@cascadenews.co.uk / www.cascadenews.co.uk\nSyndicated for The Leader, Chester\nThe tomb where body was found at Hylton Court in Ellesmere Port by Cheshire Oaks  may 2013\nA MAN who bludgeoned his housemate to death, buried him in a man-made tomb in his garden shed and then went for lunch, has been found guilty of murder.\nSebastian Bendou, a 36-year-old French hotel worker, was convicted after a Chester Crown Court trial of murdering former housemate Christophe Borgye, a Ryanair steward, in April 2009.\nThe jury of six men and six women took three hours and 15 minutes to find Bendou guilty of murder by a 10-2 majority verdict.

Sebastian Bendou (top right), 36, had stabbed and battered his housemate Christophe Borgye (bottom right) in 2009 along with an accomplice in a brutal pre-planned attack after a row over money.
The pair then hid his body in a homemade brick tomb topped with concrete (left) in the garden of the house in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire. The pair thought they had got away with murder after police treated the victim’s disappearance as a routine missing persons inquiry and assumed he had returned to his native France. But hotel worker Bendou could not live with the 'strain' of his guilt and in May last year suddenly travelled 200 miles from his new home in Dumfries, Scotland back to the town. He called police from a phone box and told them: 'This is too much for my mind.' The next day he led officers to the house where the body of airline steward Borgye still lay.
