Nutt, of Shirley Grove, Lightcliffe, near Halifax, West Yorkshire, denies murder but has admitted the manslaughter of Ms Walker.
The body of grandmother Dawn Walker, 52, was found in a field four days after she married Thomas Nutt, 45, Bradford Crown Court has been told.The trial has heard how Nutt told police he killed Ms Walker as he tried to restrain her, when his new wife came at him “violently screaming” after they returned from a two-day caravan honeymoon in a lay-by near Skegness.
Jurors have been shown CCTV footage of Nutt wheeling a large suitcase out of the back of his house and into nearby bushes just as a police officer arrives at his front door to follow up the defendant’s missing person report. Prosecutor Alistair MacDonald QC has told the court that Nutt rang police on October 31, telling them his wife had gone missing, and he appeared to mount a search in what the prosecutor said was a “ghastly charade”.He told the jury that Nutt admitted the manslaughter of his wife on the basis that “he did not intend to cause her really serious harm at the time at which he killed her”.
