Jealous boyfriend 'strangled girlfriend, 17, in bed because he feared she was being unfaithful - and got his parents to help cover up the killing'

A 'violent and jealous' boyfriend, fearful his aspiring model girlfriend was being unfaithful to him, strangled her in bed - and then received help from his parents to cover up the murder, a court heard today.

Prosecutors say Elliot Turner, 20, 'went absolutely nuts' and strangled 17-year-old Emily Longley following a month of anger and upset over his suspicions she was 'twisting his heart'.

His mother, Anita, 51, and father, Leigh, 57, of Bournemouth, initially told police they had heard Emily talking in their son’s bedroom, even though the prosecution say she was already dead.

Turner said they had argued the night before and she had attacked him, and that when he woke up beside her she was dead.        More
