Jack Crawley, who turned 20 this year, led police to the skeletal remains of married dad-of-two Paul Taylor on May 1.Crawley admits the ex-serviceman’s manslaughter but denies murder.

Crawley further denies a second charge, which alleges that he tried to murder a second man with a hammer during a gay tryst in Yorkshire during early January after skipping bail.Mr Taylor went missing from his Annan home last October having hidden a sexual interest in men from loved ones.
