Mr Trimmer said that having killed his wife, the husband moved his car to the entrance to an alleyway that ran down the side of the home to the rear garden.
He said that enabled him to move the wife’s body which he had placed into a large suitcase, to his car using a trolley.
Out of sight from a neighbour’s CCTV camera he was able, said the prosecutor, to get the suitcase containing his wife into his car.
The jury was told the defendant had can petrol in the car, a yellow handled spade and the trolley cart.

The court was told police were able to get a fix on the area of the common where the wife had been buried by tracking the movement of both her and her husband’s mobile phones on the day of her disappearance.
He said the suitcase was unearthed and inside, the remains of the wife dressed in pyjamas with floral bottoms was discovered.
Plastic sheeting had been placed over her head and shoulders. She had blunt force traumas to her neck and face.

But the nozzle from the petrol can had been left at the site of the shallow grave and when forensically examined it was found to contain the defendant’s DNA.
