A woman on trial for the murder of her lover has been accused of weaving a tangled web in the months before his death.

Tracey Cameron wrote love letters to Leonard Fulbirg and new boyfriend, Graham Haylett, in which she mentioned marrying both of them.

Cameron, a mother-of-three, told a jury she was addicted to Mr Fulbirg who treated her like a princess.

"I still feel besotted with him now," she said.

Cameron, of Dunsford Avenue, Bierley, and Haylett, 40, of Wilson Wood Street, Batley, deny murdering Mr Fulbirg.

The 49-year-old father-of-twelve vanished overnight after leaving his brother's home in Buttershaw, in 1996.

He had arranged to meet Cameron at McDonalds in Rooley Lane, Bradford, but she says she never turned up for their date. Mr Fulbirg's torso bones were found scattered on Oxenhope Moor seven months later.

Yesterday Cameron faced a day of cross-examination from prosecuting barrister James Goss QC.

He read extracts from love letters Cameron sent to Mr Fulbirg when he was on remand in Armley Jail in the six months leading to his release on August 1, 1996.

In one Cameron says: "I love you with all of me. I am totally obsessed by you."

By then Cameron had begun a relationship with Mr Fulbirg's friend, Graham Haylett.

Asked by Mr Goss if she was stringing Haylett along, Cameron replied: "No."

Mr Goss suggested to Cameron that Haylett was a "stop-gap" while Mr Fulbirg was in jail.

Shortly afterwards Cameron wrote to Haylett that all she dreamed about was getting married to him.

"I wasn't trying to deceive him. I just had two separate lives," Cameron told the jury.

The jury at Leeds Crown Court heard Cameron made a series of phone calls to Mr Haylett's flat in Lansdale Court, Bradford, while she was in a women's refuge in early August 1996.

But she suddenly began ringing him at her home address in Hyne Avenue, Bierley, the day after Mr Fulbirg was last seen by his family.

She told the court Haylett had gone round to her house to do decorating work.

Mr Goss suggested to Cameron that she knew by then that Mr Fulbirg was out of the way.

The trial continues.
