Chelsea Hyndman Crete murder trial: Luke Walker 'beat' girlfriend 29 May 2013 Last updated at 14:44 A man accused of murdering his girlfriend in Crete beat her, a trial on the Greek island has heard. Luke Walker, 25, from Brierley Hill, West Midlands, denies killing Chelsea Hyndman, 20, from Castleford, West Yorkshire, on the island in May 2010. The electrician broke down in tears as one witness, a friend of the couple, said he "loved her 100%." However, in statements read out to the court it was claimed Mr Walker had hit and kicked his girlfriend. Ms Hyndman was admitted to hospital in Heraklion with abdominal pains on 16 May 2010 and died from acute peritonitis the following day. Mr Walker, who lived with his girlfriend in the resort town of Malia, claims she was injured when she fell over on a night out with friends. On Tuesday, the trial in Heraklion heard evidence from Louise Purdy, who had been on a night out with Ms Hyndman on 6 May. She said the 20-year-old had fallen over on a cobbled street, landing with her left hand under her body near her stomach area. 'Who's Jessie?' However, in a series of statements read out in court, it was claimed Mr Walker had previously struck his girlfriend. One letter claiming to be from a woman who signed her name only as "Jessie," said Mr Walker was sometimes jealous of other men talking to Ms Hyndman, particularly when he was drunk. The writer of the letter claimed to know of two occasions when Mr Walker had beaten Ms Hyndman and kicked her in the stomach. "All do not know what goes on behind closed doors and they are too scared to come out to tell you," the letter added. Mr Walker's friends and family shouted out in court as it was read and asked: "Jessie? Who's Jessie? Intense arguments Another document submitted to the court was purportedly sent to Greek police by a "Peter Rogers." In it, he said he had overheard a conversation in which Mr Walker's father, Patrick, said his son had admitted hitting Ms Hyndman. Mr Walker's barrister George Pyromallis questioned the documents, saying they could easily be fake and he was uneasy about them being allowed in evidence. They were a little bit jealous of each other's past relationships with other people End Quote Lyndsay Williamson In a statement read to the court from Eda Quirici, who lived in the apartment below Mr Walker and Ms Hyndman, said she often heard "intense arguments" between the pair. These arguments were so intense, so fierce, that I could not sleep for the noise. In her statement she said that, although she was not absolutely certain of the date, she remembers hearing an argument and shouting and screams at about 04:00 on 12 May. She said: "I heard the girl screaming like someone does like when someone is being chased or being beaten. I heard furniture being dragged about like when someone is trying to chase a person. Another witness, a friend of Ms Hyndman, however, described the couple as very much in love, with a strong relationship. Giving evidence, Lyndsay Williamson said: "My impression of Luke was the same as Chelsea's impression of Luke - they wanted to be together, they wanted a future together, they wanted to get married, they wanted to have children." She added: "They were a little bit jealous of each other's past relationships with other people, but not with any malice." Stomach cramps Five days after falling over on a night out, Ms Williamson said she had noticed a change in her friend. She said the two of them had spent time at the beach on 11 May 2010 and they had both been badly burned by the sun. Ms Williamson told the court she saw her again the following day and said Ms Hyndman was being sick, had stomach cramps and thought she had sunstroke. A letter was also read to the court that Ms Hyndman's mother Heather, who was in court, wrote to Mr Walker when he was in prison. He was later granted bail. In it she wrote: "Luke, I know you and Chelsea love each other dearly. I can't believe it's ended like this. I'm sorry I haven't come to see you, I hope you can understand why. There's so many things going through my mind. I hope things work out for you. I hope things will end soon so my baby can rest in peace.
