A woman accused of murdering her lover admitted luring him to his death before his body was dumped on the moors, a jury heard.

Tracey Cameron allegedly told women at a refuge how she and her boyfriend killed and disposed of Leonard Fulbirg.

Cameron and Graham Haylett, both 40, deny murdering Mr Fulbirg whose dismembered torso was found on Oxenhope Moor.

Mr Fulbirg, 49, the father of at least 12 children, had been Cameron's lover before she started an affair with Haylett.

Cameron, a mother-of-three, of Dunsford Avenue, Bierley, is accused of plotting with Haylett to get rid of Mr Fulbirg, the father of her daughter.

Mr Fulbirg vanished on the night of August 11, 1996, after leaving his brother's house in Coldbeck Drive, Buttershaw, to meet Cameron at McDonalds in Rooley Lane.

Cameron says the meeting never took place.

She and Haylett,of Wilson Wood Street, Batley, are on trial at Leeds Crown Court for Mr Fulbirg's murder.

Josephine Chapman, 41, told the jury yesterday she and Cameron were in a women's refuge in Halifax at the time Mr Fulbirg disappeared.

She said Cameron went out one night saying she was going to meet her former partner who was suspected of being a paedophile.

Miss Chapman said Cameron left the refuge at about 8.30pm. She was downcast, stressed and worried. She returned at about midnight the same evening.

"She was a lot more cheerful than when she'd gone out. She told everyone she'd sorted the problem out," said Miss Chapman.

Miss Chapman told how Cameron claimed to have met the man outside McDonalds. She told how he had been beaten up, put in a car and left on the moors.

Another resident at the refuge, Beverly Mitchell, 31, also told how Cameron claimed to have been party to the disappearance of her partner.

The mother-of-six said Cameron told her she was in the refuge because she was fleeing from a man who was about to be released from prison. Cameron told her that the man was a gypsy and child abuser.

She said she was seeing someone called Graham who was a policeman.

Mrs Mitchell said Cameron drove off in her car one night saying she was going to see if she could find the man.

She had earlier threatened to put something in his drink and take him up onto the moor.

Mrs Mitchell said she saw Cameron in the kitchen the next morning and she said she'd got him.

Cameron allegedly told Mrs Mitchell she had spiked the man's drink, taken him back to a flat and handcuffed his legs. She said her boyfriend, Graham, had then killed him and he had been chopped up and fed to the pigs.

Mrs Mitchell said that another woman was also present when Cameron revealed this. "We both looked at each other shocked. I didn't believe her," Mrs Mitchell told the jury.

Cameron said she was going to go back home and she was gone from the refuge within a week.

The trial continues.
