Michael Roberts denies killing his wife Vicky
A cheating newlywed murdered his wife after she found out he had conducted two affairs just five months into their marriage, a court heard.
Michael Roberts, 26, of Runcorn, Cheshire, denies murdering wife Vicky, 25, last November.
Liverpool Crown Court heard that Mr Roberts cheated on his wife before and after they were married in June 2009.
David Steer QC, prosecuting, said they appeared to be the perfect couple but "the reality was altogether different".
Mr Steer told the jury Mr Roberts, an assistant manager at a Phones 4U store, began an affair with colleague Kerrie Hall several months before getting married.
Then in April 2009, two months before his wedding, Mr Roberts met Karen Wilson, a sales assistant at Phones 4U.
They began an affair and in October they spent the night together at a hotel after a work outing to Chester races.
The court heard that by the end of that month, Mrs Roberts, who was "besotted" with her husband, suspected he was having an affair.
A few weeks before her death, the couple were sleeping in separate rooms of their home in Partington Square.
The victim told her friend, Lorraine Lee, "that she was not going to give up on him and wanted to work it out".
The case continues.
