Escort murdered by builder left cryptic clues for police to follow, court hears
A woman murdered by a builder at a remote farm left a trail of clues for police to follow, a court has heard.
Alex Morgan, 34, who was working as an escort, was allegedly killed after meeting Mark Brown, 40, at the farm and her body torched in an oil drum.
But before she left him she left a note for her son on the living room table saying: “Let’s go rollerblading.”
Alongside his rollerblades, the box contained a trail of clues including a handwritten note, photos, a phone and an address where she may be found, Hove Crown Court heard.
Duncan Atkinson KC, prosecuting, said that days earlier
the defendant had offered Miss Morgan an extremely well-paid job at the hotel where he worked but she had to keep quiet about it.
He said: “She clearly realised that it may not be above board, because she left that trail of clues for her sons, and the police, to find.”
A jury heard that using the clues she left, detectives were able to follow the victim’s movements.
Miss Morgan left a large sum of cash, a mobile phone, a handwritten note which said: “Photos evidence Brighton Premier Inn or Travel Lodge, security company on site”.
It also said “Check postcode TN34 5NY Rock Lane, opposite Bartletts”, the location where she later met Mr Brown.
There was a further note, which included the PIN for the phone and a reference to Brighton placed next to the TV screen.
Mr Brown has denied two charges of murder. The case continues.
