A MAN accused of murdering a missing businesswoman confessed to killing her and said he disposed of her body in a furnace, a court has heard.
Peter Haddley, 26, said he and Colin Coats were friends while prisoners in Addiewell jail, West Lothian, after Coats was arrested on suspicion of murdering Lynda Spence, who disappeared in April 2011.
Mr Haddley said Coats told him he had "cut off her head" and he had to increase the temperature of the furnace he had put her body in because there was "still parts of it left".
