Nathan Maynard-Ellis, 30, is alleged to have told the second alleged victim where he would hide her body if he killed her. Prosecutors allege that Maynard-Ellis and his boyfriend, 25-year-old David Leesley, walked along a canal near their flat to hide Ms Rawson's body parts in undergrowth. The woman alleges that she was then raped by Maynard-Ellis, after he made her remove some of her clothing. The jury heard Maynard-Ellis had collected newspaper clippings and books about serial killers, and horror films featuring decapitation and necrophilia. Jurors were told that Maynard-Ellis has admitted concealment of a corpse and perverting the course of justice by replacing bloodstained carpet and underlay at his flat.
