Accused held Lynda at house, murder jury told

ONE of the accused in the Lynda Spence murder trial told his former partner he had held her at a house, a court has heard.

Jacqueline Watt, 38, said David Parker originally told her he was "babysitting" a man but he later admitted it was Ms Spence, who disappeared in April 2011.

Ms Watt yesterday told the High Court in Glasgow that financial adviser Ms Spence had arranged a mortgage for her in 2009. She described Ms Spence as a "dodgy broker" and said she and Parker were watching publicity about Ms Spence's disappearance on the news.
