Brandon Rainey is on trial for the murder of Chloe Mitchell, whose dismembered body was discovered in June 2023. Prosecutors allege that Rainey killed Mitchell at his residence and disposed of her remains in wheelie bins to hinder burial. Evidence presented includes blood found in Rainey's flat and statements from friends regarding his behavior before her disappearance.
During the proceedings, the court heard that Mitchell had significant addiction issues and was last seen with Rainey shortly before her death. A post-mortem indicated she died from blunt force trauma and stab wounds.
