A former police officer is on trial after being accused of killing his ex-boyfriend and the ex-boyfriend’s new partner. In court, messages shown to the jury include alleged “crazy” texts sent by the accused to a friend before the killings, and details about communications between the ex-boyfriend’s former partner and another man.

According to reports from both outlets, the jury also hears that the accused allegedly took photographs of messages involving his former partner, which were said to relate to her exchanges with another man. The articles describe the text messages as part of the prosecution’s effort to establish motive or context leading up to the alleged offences.

Both sources focus on the content of the messages presented in court, but they do not provide additional differing claims about the broader case. The emphasis is on what the jury is told the accused said in texts and what the accused allegedly documented through photos, as the trial proceeds.
