The trial of an Italian national accused of killing a Bournemouth mum and a woman in Italy has begun.

The prosecution have suggested that the muders of Heather Barnett on 2002, and Elisa Clap nine years earlier, were 'strikingly similar' and carried out by the same person - they say that person was Danilo Restivo.

Michael Bowes QC has said 'the presence of cut hair after death in both cases ... is akin to a hallmark.'
