Mark Brown, age 41, is charged with murdering Ms. Morgan and another lady on the farm. He denies both allegations.
The jury has been shown photographs of a rollerblade box that allegedly contains the trail of clues, as well as the oil drum in which Ms. Morgan’s remains were discovered.
The jury was also informed that this image depicts the arrival of Alex Morgan’s Mini at the farm.
Brown, a part-time security guard and laborer, reportedly offered Ms. Morgan a substantial quantity of money to spend several days with him.

At Ms. Morgan’s residence, police discovered a substantial sum of cash, a mobile phone, and handwritten notes.
One message contained the PIN for a mobile phone that contained photographs labeled as “photographic evidence Brighton Premier Inn or Travel Lodge, security firm on site.”

Duncan Atkinson KC told a Hove jury that the defendant indicated to a coworker that he had killed twice, despite only being questioned about Alex Morgan.
The defendant informed him, “The cops have my phone and I will be arrested.”
When asked what he was wanted for, he said, “Double murder. I’m leaving for 25 years to live”
Mr. Atkinson stated that the defendant’s remark to “double” when he had not yet been apprehended for the murder of Leah Ware was noteworthy.
“The defendant’s response when asked if he had done it was also relevant.
Instead of saying no, he responded, “I cannot comment at this moment” and added, “I have to take this one.”
Mr. Atkinson stated that Brown had made extraordinary measures to conceal his actions.

The court heard that Ms. Morgan had left a considerable amount of cash, a mobile phone, and handwritten notes at her residence after she ‘clearly realized’ that Mr. Brown’s job offer’may not be above board’
Brown, 41, denies the murders of Ms. Morgan and Leah Ware (pictured), a 33-year-old mother of three children.
