Media outlet The Daily Mail has claimed that Vanessa worked as an escort, and after walking in on Venessa having sex with a client Gomez-Hernandez killed his with with trauma to her head and neck.
According to statements given by Gomez-Hernandez to police after finding Vanessa having sex with a client he left their flat to go shopping, returning later in the day to find the flat locked and his wife failing to answer the door.
Gomez-Hernandez states that he proceeded to break into the flat with a group of friends, where they found Vanessa dead. After finding his wife's body he phoned 999 to call for an ambulance, but was later arrested under suspicion of murder.
Court Prosecutor Brendan Finucane QC said, 'Although their is evidence they were loving towards each other, there is some evidence of discord.'

The trial is currently ongoing.
