bedroom

Acosta then walked into the master bedroom and shot Goodwill-Yost.

Steven Bailey, prosecuting, told the jury: "This case is about a man who lost his temper with his partner at the end of a night out, and who beat and kicked and stamped her to death in a confined space in his bedroom once he got her home at the end of night."

She said she knew Ms Hand and Mr McGregor went into the bedroom, but didn't know what was happening in the room.

The prosecution say he then armed himself with two knives, one large kitchen knife, and another flick knife, and went up two flights of stairs to Mr Bush’s bedroom, where an attack began.

In late October, Mr Bush had told his girlfriend Ella Jeffries that he had barricaded himself into his bedroom one evening after a discussion with Mr Thomas.
