'Torture flat' had new floor put in

A room where a financial adviser was allegedly tortured and killed had "new" pieces of flooring fitted, a court heard.

Detectives investigating the disappearance of Lynda Spence, 27, in April 2011, noticed different floorboards in a search of a flat in West Kilbride, Ayrshire.

Accused David Parker, 38, told police during questioning that the loft conversion in his home was used to hold Ms Spence in exchange for a promised £1500.
