Call girl, 32, ‘murdered her 71-year-old lover with an axe and hammer to steal £45,000 then wrote herself a note saying “go to the bank and let the fun begin” with a list of Primark purchases’

Call girl Deanha Neely, 32, murdered her 71-year-old boyfriend with hammer
Neely's alleged plan was to get her hands on £45,000 of Derek Taylor's cash
She wrote herself a love note reading: 'Go to the bank and let the fun begin'
Neely denies murder but admits causing Taylor's injuries

A call girl who murdered her 71-year-old boyfriend for his money wrote herself a love note after the killing, reading, 'Go to the bank and let the fun begin!', a court heard.
Deanha Neely, 32, beat Derek Taylor with a hammer and an axe as part of 'ruthless and calculating' plan to get her hands on a £45,000 payout he won in a civil legal battle, it was alleged.
Mr Taylor suffered a fractured skull in the beating during which his killer also wrapped a length of cable twice around his neck and put a black plastic bag over his head. His body was found by police over a fortnight later hidden under a tarpaulin.

In the aftermath of the murder, Neely, from Colne, Lancashire, frittered away some of Taylor's cash on drugs and in Primark, the jury heard.
To make it appear as if he was still alive, she also logged onto his Facebook page and posted a series of message purporting to be him claiming the couple were heading out on a road trip in his motorhome, it was said.
One posted on the day of the killing on January 2 this year read: 'Going away for a few days or so to relax and see the new year year in, can't wait'.
Another later that day said: 'Well I'm set off and raring to go, I've wanted to get away for a while now and it's finally happening, bring on the nice meal and cold beer after a long drive.'


One even tagged Neely herself in a post and said: 'A quick stop and recharge the batteries before setting off again, no cold beer for me yet as probably going to be driving for a good few hours yet? God I wish Deanha could drive and it was me with my feet up on the dash board relaxing to the radio and not her, ha ha.'
Preston Crown Court was told the tragedy occurred after Mr Taylor befriended Neely and asked her to move in with him at his motorhome parked inside a industrial unit in Blackburn.


She had a severe addiction to heroin but in a bid to help her get clean, Taylor would try and ration her intake of drugs.
Prosecuting Guy Gozem QC told the jury: 'She was penniless and he was a lonely old man, who knew and used local prostitutes. Having met Deanha Neely Derek Taylor wanted her to live with him - and to give up both prostitution and drugs.
'But that was much easier said than done. Tomorrow was always the day she was going to give up - or cut down.
'At the end of October 2016 Derek Taylor received about £45,000. It was money that he'd been waiting for for some time - and that is a fact that the defendant must have been well aware of.
'You may very well conclude that Deanha Neely came up with a solution to all of her problems - to be completely rid of Derek Taylor, but to gain free access to the things she was interested in.
'His money in the longer term would put her in position where she would be very comfortable.'
