THE murder trial continues into the death of a man who was found dismembered near Bidford-on-Avon in July.
The jury, in its second week at Birmingham Crown Court, heard that drugs dealer Michael Kelly died in his Worcester home after a dispute over drugs money.
Later his body was dumped in a copse at Grafton Lane.
The prosecution said Gerald Edwards, who has denied murder, enlisted the help of Ashley Shearon in cleaning up the bloodstained flat in Teme Road, Tolladine.
Shearon has admitted perverting the course of justice, but another accused, Gary Wood, aged 46, from Lowesmoor, Worcester, denies perverting the course of justice by concealing evidence.
One witness, Anne Padgett, told the jury on Tuesday that when her cousin, Shearon, told her there was a chopped up body in a car outside she thought it was one of his fairy stories.
