A mother asked four different men to murder her ex-husband because she felt 'such bitterness and anger' after losing custody of a child, a court has heard. But the couple separated in 2008 and Mr Parkes was granted custody of a child in 2014 'following protracted proceedings in the family courts', Mr Paxton said. Mr Paxton said Breeden asked Mr Lowry-Martin if he would 'do her a favour and sort out her ex-husband as he was a bastard'. The fourth charge is of trying to persuade Earl Gernon to murder Mr Parkes on October 1 2019. Mr Paxton said Mr Wall made a secret mobile phone recording of a conversation between Breeden and Mr Gernon.
