Mark Barrott is accused of murdering his partner at the couple's home
Eileen Barrott was killed by her husband Mark, who argues diminished responsibility on the grounds of mental illness.
"He was horrible to my mum," it stated."He would call her all the names under the sun - he would berate and belittle her, and say she was weird and call her a wacko."She always wanted to be the person who gave Mark a better life." Eileen told her daughter she then spent a warm day walking around Leeds city centre, Mark contacted her and insisted on picking her up from work. He noticed tan marks on her skin and accused her of seeing someone else, calling her names.
In the weeks after, Mark got in touch with his daughter and asked if there was any way Eileen would give him another chance. "On Sunday, I did not get any correspondence from them," it said."I was tired and I did not think much about it."
