Murder trial The scene of the alleged murder A MURDER suspect kept his ex-partner's clothing including her underwear under his pillow and sprayed them with her perfume and also left a noose at her farm so he could 'hang himself', a court heard. Mark Chilman denies the murder of Neil Parkinson whose body was found in the driver's seat of his burnt-out BMW in a lay-by in Ankeridge Road, Cotheridge, on the A44 Bromyard-Worcester road. The 66-year-old's body was found in the car on December 12 last year after neighbours spotted the blaze and called the fire service.
