GUILTY UK - Lorraine Cox, 32, found deceased, Exeter, 31 August 2020 *arrest*

[89leanne89]

I can't see any other verdict than guilty after reading the live updates

The only thing the prosecution is missing is a cause of death, hence the defendant alleging she didn't die by his hands but he did dismember her afterwards.

They didn't have a cause of death for Libby Squire either but from all of the circumstantial evidence the jury decided on the right verdict.

Hopefully that will be the same here, I think the key evidence will be his Internet searches about dismemberment etc in the days before she died.

I agree, clearly premeditated.

I feel terrible for the friend who stood her up, I hope she has professional help to deal with this.

Lorraine Cox murder trial day 5 - updates

 

[LucyRocket]

There's not a lot of coverage for poor Lorraine, and not many people on this thread. I didn't even realise the trial had started

 

[Scorpiette]

I agree LucyRocket. I'm surprised there isn't more coverage tbh. Perhaps that's why there's not many people on this thread?

I can't find the trial updates for days 7 or 8

I agree LucyRocket. I'm surprised there isn't more coverage tbh. Perhaps that's why there's not many people on this thread?

Compare with the interest in the Sarah Everard case..

Sad really, every person deserves equal interest but its just not the way it goes unfortunately.

Thank you @Scorpiette . Much appreciate your coverage.

You're welcome. I'm fairly local so have been aware of this case from the beginning. There did seem to be a sort of news blackout for this case. Minimal details released etc. Loads of rumours circulating in the early days. At least 3 crime scenes. Thank goodness for CCTV. I feel safer knowing they are out there.

Lorraine Cox murder trial: Body was dismembered 'neatly and cleanly'

The accused looks soft, but alleged actions speak otherwise, imo, speculation.
Lorraine Cox murder trial: Body was dismembered 'neatly and cleanly'
''Dr Jeffery said the torso had been mutilated by a strip of skin being removed from the lower back and buttocks, a cut being made in the forehead and a tattoo - which denoted the 32-year-old was a diabetic - removed from an arm.

She said Ms Cox's T-shirt was found in her mouth''

Lorraine Cox murder: Accused watched amputation videos
''The accused, also known as Christopher Mayer, researched human anatomy during the week between her alleged killing and police discovering her body parts.

He accessed a video showing a step-by-step guide on digging a grave by hand, the court heard.

The shop worker also downloaded material from the internet showing a mock wrestling match of an amputee and information about the anatomical structure of the human leg.''

Is there no court today?

Is there no court today?

It doesn't seem like it LucyRocket.
Not sure why.

Trial resumes Monday:

Murder suspect was silent when quizzed about missing Lorraine Cox

 

[LucyRocket]

Thanks @Scorpiette

Looks like court was in session today then but the reporter didn't give live updates. However seems they won't be sitting for the rest of this week. I wish Lorraine had more coverage. However, that doesn't diminish the fact that I think of her as much as I think of anyone who has met a violent, unlawful death
