34-yr-old controlling boyfriend murdered his girlfriend by stamping on her head after she refused to give him her Facebook password, a court has heard.
Kane Boyce is accused of murdering Paula Newman in 'a violent rage' at the home they shared in Croydon, south London, after allegedly becoming convinced the 20-year-old was cheating on him.
He denies murder, claiming the woman died after falling out of his BMW during a late-night drive.
Today the Old Bailey heard how Miss Newman was heard by neighbours 'shrieking' as the defendant shouted at her to hand over her social media passwords.
They are then thought to have driven in Boyce's car, later returning to the property where neighbours noticed Miss Newman, who had mild learning difficulties, was 'visibly unwell'.
Paramedics were called to the property the following day but were unable to revive Miss Newman, who weighed under 9-stone.
A post-mortem examination revealed she died as the result of head injuries.
