TheShuttleA STOURPORT wife who became a murder suspect after her husband's disappearance became increasingly worried as police stepped up their investigation, a jury was told.
Muriel Southall complained that "tittle tattle" on the caravan site where the couple lived was being passed to detectives and that she and her alleged lover, 59-year-old Michael Whitcombe, were being followed.
Police had secretly installed a listening device in her car and a record of her conversations was played to a jury at Worcester Crown Court.
Southall, 60, of Redstone Lane, Stourport, and Whitcombe, of Worcester Road, Stourport, plead not guilty to murdering 62-year-old Reginald Southall on December 4, 2007 and attempting to pervert justice by giving false information to the police.
