Tina Satchwell’s cousin, Sarah Howard, testified in the Central Criminal Court that Tina was never violent or aggressive toward her husband,
Richard Satchwell, who denies murdering her in 2017. Tina’s remains were found hidden under the stairs over six years later. Ms Howard described Tina as kind, bubbly, and devoted to her dogs..
She recalled Richard’s odd behaviour shortly after Tina’s disappearance, especially when he offered her a chest freezer—uncharacteristic for someone she said wouldn’t part with items easily. #ad
She found this suspicious, citing how he once charged her children for small items at a car boot sale. Under cross-examination, she confirmed
Richard had seemed obsessed with Tina, though her perspective shifted after Tina’s remains were discovered..
The court also heard about Richard’s activities shortly before and after Tina’s disappearance, including a suspicious tip about discarded suitcases. The prosecution has concluded its case.#Ad
