" There was blood everywhere. "

He went on: " I felt nothing. "

The Jury heard the couple first met in November 2020, with Ms Albone becoming dependent on him due to her MS and a neurological disorder.

She ended The Relationship in January The Following year because she felt he was emotionally controlling, Mr Mulgrew said.

Her stepsister, Corinne Foster, who described The Relationship as " toxic" became suspicious about text messages she received from Ms Albone's phone in February.

" Sarah Albone would never have called her babe, " Mr Mulgrew said.

" The tone and the grammar did not match. "

Waddell told Ms Foster that her stepsister was " in The Best place possible" and they were putting a plan in place for Mental Health treatment.
