AN earlier witness on Thursday, January 21) was Nadia Musleh, who used to be a receptionist at the massage parlour in Bridgend where the deceased worked as a prostitute.

Miss Musleh said that Kirsty Wilkinson — as she then was — plied her trade under the name Megan.

The court was told the two became close friends and after both stopped working at the parlour they kept in regular contact.

The witness said that a few months after getting married Mrs Grabham told her that her husband had been seeing another woman.

As a result, Mrs Grabham moved into the St Thomas, Swansea, home of Miss Musleh's brother Faisal for a few days in mid-March.

Miss Musleh said that after Mrs Grabham went missing, Grabham told her that his wife had come home on March 28 and had then gone away with some money, some cocaine, her trainers and her hair-straighteners.

"But my brother was worried that something had happened to her," she told the court.

"He was convinced that Paul had done something to her."

The court also heard from David Rees, the deputy manager of La Tasca in Wind Street.

He recalled that during the late evening of March 27 the Grabhams called at the restaurant to have a drink at the bar — and Mrs Grabham had a glass of Sangria, which Mr Rees confirmed contained pieces of red and green apples.

The stomach of the deceased was found to contain apple remnants.
