HUBBY ‘KILLED MINGE FLASH DRUNK WIFE’

- By BRAD CHADWICK news@ sundayspor­t. co. uk

A MAN has gone on trial for killing his wife, who it’s claimed lived a double life as a stay- at- home mum and online exhibition­ist.

William West, 47, killed Kathleen West, 42, with a blow to the head from a booze bottle, the prosecutio­n told jurors in court.

Defence lawyer John Robbins argued that the woman, intoxicate­d after a night of drinking, died accidental­ly after she fell and hit her head.

Kathleen, who bore a resemblanc­e to Marilyn Monroe, publicly posted lingerie photos online while charging viewers to see sexier images of her breasts and minge.

Her partially- clothed body was found in the street outside the couple’s home in January 2018.

Prosecutor­s contend West killed his wife during a fight and have asked to show jurors text messages they say describe as proof of frequent arguments.

Racy

But the defence say that Kathleen died accidental­ly following a “date night” during which her hubby took racy photos of her.

Robbins told the court Kathleen West’s adult photos – posted under the name ‘ Kitty Kat West’ – did not cause discord between the couple.

He went on: “Yes, she had a website. She posed nude. She did that for her own self- esteem.

“Will was fully aware

of what his wife did, and he assisted her.”

Kathleen’s parents have defended the man, whom they describe as a devoted, loving husband and a good dad to the couple’s teen daughter.

The Army veteran worked as a police officer before his arrest.

Kathleen’s mother, Nancy Martin, said her daughter took medication for bipolar disorder and had used to binge drink.

West stayed with his in- laws after his wife’s death at their home in Calera, Alabama, and before his arrest.

He has been in jail since then.
