Teenage student was murdered by her father to silence her claims that he sexually abused her, court hears

She said the first call he made, lasting nine minutes, was to Ms Walker,

"The only sensible conclusion that can be drawn from that telephone call is that Scott Walker told his wife that he had killed Bernadette and needed her help, immediately, to cover up Bea's disappearance and death, and to buy them both time to work out what should happen next," said Ms Wilding. "From that moment on, Scott and Sarah Walker - Bea's own mother and father - were joined, the prosecution say, in an unholy alliance, designed and intended to mislead, to divert and to pervert the inevitable investigation into the disappearance and ultimately the death of Bea Walker."

The court was told the parents "hacked" into Bernadette's social media accounts and pretended to be her to friends and family. "They lied to everyone around them... about her disappearance and they were unflinching in their pursuit of their devious, wicked plan.Mr Walker denies Bernadette's murder on or after 18 July and four counts of perverting the course of justice.
