Nutt lied to her family, blaming her disappearance on her mental health, and sent them false texts supposedly from her. An examination of Ms Walker's body showed she had suffered significant neck injuries which indicated there had been a"forceful application of pressure to her neck".Nutt did not give evidence at his trial, admitting manslaughter on the basis he"did not intend" to cause serious harm to his new wife.
However, prosecutor Alistair MacDonald QC said Nutt"knew perfectly well that her body was in a cupboard at the marital home" and accused Nutt of carrying out a"ghastly charade".
