:02:30. > :02:34.Jayden and other people that he has tortured and hurt over the xears. He
:02:35. > :02:40.gets what he deserves. In the back of my mind I always thought he could
:02:41. > :02:46.be capable of that sort of thing. To someone like Jayden, she was lovely,
:02:47. > :02:59.no man should ever hit a wolan but for her, she didn't deserve that at
:03:00. > :03:03.all. The jury will return to consider its sentenced tomorrow
:03:04. > :03:09.Meanwhile, we can tell the story of then Blakeley and Jayden Parkinson
:03:10. > :03:15.and how their friendship and then relationship stretched back many
:03:16. > :03:19.years. They had known each other for years
:03:20. > :03:25.but in the summer of 2012 J`yden Parkinson started dating Ben
:03:26. > :03:33.Blakeley. Problems at home leant she had to move out. They were partners
:03:34. > :03:36.in crime. They stole to eat and buy drugs and to solve their problems
:03:37. > :03:41.they began trying for a babx hoping that would mean they would get a
:03:42. > :03:47.council flat. Over the course of the next year and with no baby `ppearing
:03:48. > :03:51.and money tight, Jayden movdd into this hostel here in Oxford `nd it
:03:52. > :03:57.was at this point when they mark or `` when they were more often apart
:03:58. > :04:02.when his jealous nature got worse. He ordered her to stay here alone,
:04:03. > :04:05.telling her he `` she mustn't even leave to go to the bathroom. Two
:04:06. > :04:11.weeks later she ended their relationship. Ben Blakeley was
:04:12. > :04:16.angry. So angry he threatendd to put naked pictures of her on Facebook.
:04:17. > :04:20.He said he hoped she would commit suicide. At the beginning of
:04:21. > :04:30.December staff at the hospital `` hostel take a pregnancy test `` they
:04:31. > :04:34.helped her take it. The father had to be Ben Blakeley. When Jaxden
:04:35. > :04:39.called him to break the news he accused her of cheating and then
:04:40. > :04:44.threatened to push her off ` bridge. Despite that threat and not even 24
:04:45. > :04:48.hours later, Jayden left thd hostel alone to meet Ben Blakeley `nd to
:04:49. > :04:53.discuss the pregnancy. Thesd are the last known images of Jayden and life
:04:54. > :04:59.will stop they show their journey from Oxford train station to Didcot.
:05:00. > :05:06.They walked from there to an area of fields. They reached this footbridge
:05:07. > :05:12.when then Blakeley asked Jaxden if she had been cheating on hil. He
:05:13. > :05:16.then describes grabbing her around the throat with both hands before
:05:17. > :05:22.she then fell from here into the mud below. He said she wasn't rdading
:05:23. > :05:26.but he tried to revive her. He then describes sitting here for some time
:05:27. > :05:31.watching stars go by before eventually covering her bodx with a
:05:32. > :05:36.branch. He then left and went back to his home in Redding. In the days
:05:37. > :05:40.that followed and whilst falily and friends were waiting for news, Ben
:05:41. > :05:48.Blakeley returned to move hdr body. He put her in an M T suitcase and
:05:49. > :05:55.called for a taxi. `` and elpty suitcase. That was carried to all
:05:56. > :06:00.Saints Church in Didcot and he then dug his great uncle 's gravd. The
:06:01. > :06:07.grave was then made to look and disturbed. By the 12th of Ddcember
:06:08. > :06:10.there was still no sign of Jayden. This is a live missing persons

:11:20. > :11:23.train manager has certainly noticed a change. Just over the last two
:11:24. > :11:28.years we have seen an incre`se in people text link and using Wi`Fi.
:11:29. > :11:37.Now you find people don't use phones as much. In first class we saw every
