Jurors have seen CCTV footage of Ross McCullum dumping his victim's clothes in bins in a car park
The court heard Megan Newborough was "a genuinely well liked, gregarious but responsible young woman"A killer showed "calculated planning" to cover his tracks after he strangled a young woman to death, a court has been told.
John Cammegh KC, prosecuting, told the jury, Ms Newborough, from Nuneaton, Warwickshire, was strangled by Mr McCullum who then cut her throat with a carving knife to "make sure" she was dead. "He was effectively creating a false alibi in advance of police inquiries, making out that he had remained indoors all evening."
Mr Cammegh said: "We suggest it was for no other reason than to ensure that her body couldn't be found via her phone. The jury were shown car park CCTV footage of him changing his own clothes and dumping them, with Ms Newborough's blood-stained clothes, in bins.
