Ms Parker said she had only joined the dating site Zoosk days earlier and had never met Harwood until that night. He had asked if he could go round to her house even though it was late and she had agree.

“He went out to his car saying he needed to get something out of the boot.
“I told him ‘I think you should go now. I got the impression he wanted to sleep with me. I didn’t like him. “
Ms Parker said she has only joined Zoosk for a months trial period and had not been in it ever since.
