He is said to have told a detective that he killed a prostitute eight years earlier after picking her up in Swindon and remembered the “exact spot” where he buried her.

He is then claimed to have said: “I know you aren’t a psychologist but what the f***’s wrong? Normal people don’t go round killing.”

The remains of prostitute Becky Godden, 20, were found at a spot he identified in Eastleach, Gloucs.

She had been missing since getting in a cab in Swindon in January 2003. Bristol crown court heard that Halliwell had been paying her for sex for around three years.

Forensic searches of his Swindon home found traces of soil matching Becky’s burial site, jurors were told.
