A court hears allegations that Rowan Sutton, 31, a volunteer coastguard from West Charleton, Devon, killed his partner, Aimee Pike, and then attempted to stage her death as a suicide. Prosecutors say Sutton ran over Pike in the dark in a rural area. The accounts presented in court further state that after the incident, Sutton transported Pike’s body to a different location using a second vehicle. The case includes claims that the relationship involved coercive and controlling behaviour. The defence has not been established in the provided material, and specific legal findings are not stated in the excerpts. The proceedings focus on how Pike died, the timing and circumstances of the alleged vehicle incidents, and the reasons prosecutors say Sutton moved the body after the killing. The court is weighing evidence presented by both sides as the trial proceeds.
