The body of a woman who had not been seen for three months was found hidden in a suitcase in a wheelie bin at the back of her home, a court heard.
Sarah Albone, who had multiple sclerosis, had been the victim of a “frenzied and horrific attack” by Matthew Waddell, who had been in a “toxic relationship” with her, Luton Crown Court was told.
After murdering her and dumping her remains in the bin, Waddell is alleged to have told the 38-year-old's family and friends she was receiving treatment at a hospital in London and could not be contacted.
He sent text messages from Ms Albone's mobile phone, used her bank card and sold her belongings, the jury was told as the case opened on Wednesday.
Waddell, 35, denies murdering the mother-of-three at her home in Winston Crescent, Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, between 20 November last year and 26 February.
