She was in a relationship with another man, the court was told.

Her last text message to a neighbour on May 23, 2020, said they were arguing.

Andrew Smith, prosecuting, said: “Seemingly the trigger was some used frozen chips.

“During that argument it is now clear that the defendant attacked Yvonne, strangled her to death in the bathroom and thereafter he dismembered her body in the bath.”

Her remains were found at a country park and a recycling centre.

Only half were located.
