Collin Scully a étrangler et tuer ca femme tracey par jalousie parce qu’elle a prononcé et l’appelé par le nom d’un autre homme « paul daighton »
Man 'strangled his wife to death after she called out the wrong name during sex'A jealous husband strangled his wife after she called out another man's name during sex, a court has heard.
Colin Scully, 53, told police he throttled 39-year-old Tracey after she shouted 'Paul' as they made love.
Scully suspected his wife was having an affair and claimed she had been sending explicit text messages.
He later told police that 'Paul' referred to a Paul Deighton, a man they knew from a scooter club.
Scully also told officers that it 'blew his mind' when his wife mentioned any other men, Leeds Crown Court heard.
James Sampson, prosecuting, said: 'He knelt on her chest, causing bruising, and pinned her down crucifix style to the bed, where he strangled her using one arm.'
Tracey, who suffered from multiple sclerosis, would have taken a 'significant amount of time' to die, according to a pathologist.
Scully later told police he remembered pushing his wife down on the bed before going to sleep in their children's room, the jury heard.
Police were only called the next day when he dialled 999 and said: 'I've done something to my wife. I don't know what I've done.'
In his police interview, he said: 'I strangled her, didn't I?'
The jury also heard from Tracey's alleged lover Paul Deighton, who became friends with the couple when they joined a scooter club in Bridlington in 2007.
He insisted that there had been no affair between them but admitted that she had sent him inappropriate text messages.
'The texts were entirely innocent at first but then changed from general conversation to a little bit more later,' he said.
'Nothing at all happened between us. My attitude was that I wasn't very happy about it at all.'
The victim’s mother Wendy Wild also told the court that her daughter had confided in her that Mr Scully liked to film her having sex with other men.
She said Tracey had claimed her husband wanted her to take their laptop with them to a Butlin's holiday the previous month.
Ms Wild: 'She told me that he wanted to get in touch with swingers. I asked her if she had done this before and she said, "Yes, he made me do it".
'I said, "Have you both been with other people?". She said "No, only me. He made me prostitute myself".
'She was angry when she went on holiday and even angrier when she got back.'
Scully, of Bridlington, East Yorkshire, denies murder.
