A 42-year-old man has been found guilty of manslaughter after the body of a mother-of-two was discovered in a shallow grave.
He later guided officers to the burial site, weeks after the victim died.
Jurors at Warwick Crown Court acquitted the defendant of murder but returned a majority verdict of manslaughter, 11-1, on Tuesday.
The judgment means the court found he was responsible for the woman’s death, though not to the higher threshold of murder.
Further details about motive, circumstances and sentencing were not disclosed in the summary of the verdict.
The case will proceed to sentencing at a later hearing, where the judge will determine the appropriate punishment.
