THE man alleged to have murdered a Hampshire student accused her of looking like a “whore” on her last night out, a court heard.

The atmosphere between Elliot Turner and Emily Longley was “awkward”

according to Oliver George, 18, a friend who spent the evening of May 6 last year with them.

Mr George said Turner and Emily argued a lot and he had received a text earlier that day from Turner. It read that Emily was going to stay with him that night because he needed to repair his “troubled relationship”.

Mr George said Turner became angry at the way Emily was dressed.

“He said she looked like a whore and shouldn’t dress like that because it attracts boys.”

Mr George told the court that Turner later said: “I try so hard to get back with her.

She’s going down tonight.”

Turner told Mr George that Emily had thrown two drinks at him and he had got upset and grabbed hold of her. Mr George also said Turner became angry that Emily had gone off without him. “He was very wound up. He was shouting ‘she’s ruined my life, my heart’s twisted’.”

The jury also heard from Turner’s next-door neighbour Harry Hawkins, 18, who witnessed a tussle between Emily and Turner outside the home in Queenswood Avenue in the early hours of May 7, 2011.

He recalled friend Tom Crowe saying about Turner: “‘He’s going to kill her.’ He said it in a very serious tone but I assumed it was one of those heat of the moment things.”

In his statement to police, Mr Hawkins described Turner as “very cocky” and said he “brags a lot” and “acts like a tough guy”.

The court also heard that a voicemail message was left on Tom Crowe’s mobile phone by Turner on the morning of April 30.

Turner could be heard upset and swearing, angry about something that had appeared on Emily’s Facebook page.

Elliot Turner is accused of murdering Emily Longley, 17, on May 7 last year at the family home in Queenswood Avenue in Queens Park, Bournemouth. He is also accused, together with his parents Leigh Turner, 54, and Anita Turner, 51, of perverting the course of justice.

All three deny the charges.
