The Leeds man is accused of murdering Eileen Barrott
He then added that Barrott then"went on the run", taking a taxi to Leeds station before taking a number of trains up to the north of Scotland.
After travelling to Edinburgh, he then made his way to Aberdeen and ultimately to Elgin the following day, where he took refuge in an Abbey.Police Scotland officers attended the abbey, to find Barrott hiding in a confessional box. When he was arrested, he told officers he had not eaten in two weeks. The court heard Barrott had often displayed obsessive compulsive and controlling behaviours to members of his own family. He would regularly follow Eileen when she went on nights out with her friends, and would even track her remotely by putting a device into her handbag. The jury was also told Barrott would turn up to his wife's work events and behave jealously.
