British Husband told 'Desi Gay Lover' in Australia, My Wife is thorn in "our life", Her days are Marked

Mitesh Patel who is accused of murdering his wife after she was found dead at their home told a man thought to be his gay lover that his wife's 'days were marked' in messages revealed at Teesside Crown Court yesterday as he denied murdering Jessica Patel.

Amit Patel, who originally lived in Yorkshire before moving to Australia in 2016, replied: 'I feel exactly the same. If I had any doubts they're all gone.'

Mitesh Patel asked his lover Amit Patel how he'd feel if his wife 'goes earlier than you think' after in response to a note saying 'she might be alive for 18 years'.

Mitesh Patel sent Amit Patel a message that he had 'lied about something really big', adding he was married to Jessica Patel, the court heard.

'She fell in love with me, I was like, great, this is my cover-up, and I went for it. My feelings for you still haven't changed. I love you so much.

In the messages that followed Mitish Patel said: 'Now you know the truth. You have made me so happy. You have no idea how much. I'll make you happy. I know I will. But I've lied to you. I've searched for you so hard but now that I've found you I don't want to lose you.'

In April 2012 Amit wrote: 'I still don't like sharing you, that's all. I may have the truth but I can't cuddle up next to that, can you.'

The alleged killer responded: 'Oh babes, hurts me there. Like you said, she's a leaseholder. One day that lease will expire.'

In June 2015 the pair discussed Mitesh and Jessica having a baby. He said to Amit: 'I want to but I don't want to lose you either.'

Amit replied: 'Have it if you want. She might not even get pregnant. We'll deal with it when it happens.'

Mitesh: 'Will you stand by me or not?'

Amit: 'Just have it. There's too many ifs. She might be alive for 18 years.'

Mitesh: 'No because I'll curse it if I lose you. What are your thoughts if she goes earlier than you think? Will you love it like your own?'

Amit: 'Baby please, don't. Go to sleep. I can love it, as long as there isn't anyone else involved.'

Mitesh:  'If she's a thorn in our life, we should be in hers. If she can cause us upset, it's only fair the same to her.

'See you think I'm mad too. I'm telling you, her days are marked.

The trial continues....
