A court has heard how a man murdered his teenage ex-girlfriend after discovering she was pregnant with his child.
Ben Blakeley, 22, is alleged to have killed 17-year-old Jayden Parkinson whose body was found in a graveyard at All Saints' Church in Didcot, Oxfordshire, last year.
Blakeley, from Reading, Berkshire, denies murdering Miss Parkinson, but he has admitted killing her and disposing of her body.
Miss Parkinson was last seen alive on December 3, 2013, when she was caught on CCTV leaving the One Foot Forward hostel in Oxford where she had been staying.
Half an hour later she was caught by another CCTV camera, this time at Didcot railway station with Blakeley.
Just after midnight the hostel reported Miss Parkinson missing to police after she failed to return.
Richard Latham QC, prosecuting, said: "The prosecution case is that Jayden was killed by Ben Blakeley that same evening in open countryside south of Didcot - there is no dispute between prosecution and defence.
"We cannot be precise about location for this simple reason - unlike most killings the body was moved from where the offence occurred.
Miss Parkinson was last seen alive on December 3 "There is only one person alive who knows the truth and we would invite you to be very sceptical about what he says or has said."
Oxford Crown Court heard Blakeley was an obsessive and controlling character and regularly beat his ex-girlfriend.
Mr Latham told the court: "On any view (their relationship) was difficult. We allege he was controlling, to an obsessive and excessive degree.
"He was violent and abusive to her and controlling and hitting her."
Mr Latham told jurors that Miss Parkinson found the ending of the relationship difficult.
"She found it difficult to let go and hours before her death she left the hostel to meet him - it was the last time she was seen alive," said Mr Latham.
Despite admitting he killed Miss Parkinson, the prosecution refused to accept his plea and he is standing trial for her murder alongside a 17-year-old boy who cannot be identified for legal reasons.
The youth has pleaded guilty to a charge of attempting to pervert the course of justice, but he denies preventing a lawful burial between December 2 and December 10 last year.
The trial continues.
