London - A film producer was strangled by her ‘callous’ ex-boyfriend and buried in a shallow grave in her back garden, a court was told on Monday.

He even sent text messages from Miss Garcia-Bertaux’s phone to her friends to give the impression that she was still alive, the Old Bailey heard. Miss Garcia-Bertaux, a French national who lived in London, met Belorusov in 2009 and they were together for eight years. They eventually split up after she complained he was a ‘slob’.

Belorusov claimed he was suffering side effects of medication he was taking and even claimed he had cancer to avoid repaying her, it was alleged.
