Amber Haigh told her cousin bruises across her wrists were injuries caused by being tied up by the father of her baby, the man now accused of her murder, a court has heard.

Haigh’s cousin testified she warned her “naive” relative to stay away from the man, Robert Geeves, because of his previous alleged incidents at his property. In one she said that she had heard, two girls were “kidnapped”, tied up and put in a silo. In another, a woman was allegedly fatally shot in the face.
