Two men accused of murdering a mother, whose body has never been found, have gone on trial at Manchester Crown Court
A neighbour of Rania's brother-in-law heard shouting, banging and then screamingon the evening prosecutors say the mother-of-three was murdered at Muhaned Al-Khatib's flat.
Jurors heard that CCTV cameras captured Rania's husband, Ahmed Al-Khatib, leaving the flat wearing some of her clothes less than an hour after the killing.
This was a "deception that Rania Alayed was alive", they were told, because "minutes later, the body was being transported in a suitcase".
The trial has adjourned for the day and will resume tomorrow morning.
Wet and windy for the next 24 hours... or longer!
