Pictured: Tracy Kearns with Anthony Bird<br />
Re: A man strangled his partner and wrapped her body in plastic, after discovering she was having an affair, Mold Crown Court has heard.<br />
48 year old Anthony Bird, then covered the body of 43 year old Tracy Kearns in debris in a trailer.<br />
Mr Bird denies the murder at their home in Kinmel Bay, in May this year, but accepts responsibility for her death.<br />
He "attacked and strangled" his partner, prosecutor Ian Unsworth said opening the case.<br />
Mr Unsworth said the defendant misled police and even helped officers in the search for the mother-of-two, telling "lie after lie".<br />
The couple had been in a relationship for seven years and had two daughters together.<br />
They both worked at the Sandy Cove Club in Kinmel Bay but Mr Unsworth said things deteriorated and she started a relationship with another man, Andrew Jones.
