A recording of a phone call made to police by a man accused of murdering his former partner has been played in court.
Mum-of-five Sarah Wellgreen was last seen at her home in New Ash Green on October the 9th last year, and now the jury at 39-year-old Ben Lacomba's trial has heard audio of him reporting her missing two days later. He denies murder.
