A jury is told Thomas Nutt, who killed Dawn Walker, was a scary 'Jekyll and Hyde character'.
The body of Dawn Walker, 52, was discovered in Lightcliffe, near Halifax, in October 2021
She had not been seen since her wedding to Thomas Nutt four days earlier. He admits manslaughter but denies murder. Going through Ms Allcock's account, the prosecutor said: "He could be very loving and pleasant but when he lost his temper, he would go mad." He added: "Ms Allcock advised Dawn to be careful and Dawn responded the following day by saying that the defendant scared the hell out of her."
The court has seen CCTV footage of Mr Nutt wheeling a large suitcase out of the back of the couple's West Yorkshire home and into nearby bushes, just as police arrived at his front door to discuss the missing person report.The jury heard Mr Nutt later handed himself into police, telling officers his new wife had come at him "violently screaming" after they returned from a two-day, caravan honeymoon in a lay-by near Skegness.
