Murder accused saw 'frightened' Lynda taped to chair

A MURDER accused told detectives the last time he saw missing financial adviser Lynda Spence she was frightened and bound to a chair by tape.

David Parker, who denies murdering and abducting Ms Spence, made the comment when he was interviewed by police on October 31, 2011.

The interview was conducted by Detective Constable Nicholas Eaton, who was giving evidence at the High Court in Glasgow at the trial of Parker, 37, Paul Smith, 47, Philip Wade, 42, and Colin Coats, 42. They deny abducting and then torturing Ms Spence at a flat in West Kilbride, between April 14 and April 28, 2011.
