A teenager left his 15-year-old schoolboy lover dead in the woods then went to meet the Young Farmers' Club in a pub, a court has heard. He told the court: 'As described by one who knew him, he appeared to be his normal happy self.' Mason left the pub after about 90 minutes and later sent his girlfriend a goodnight photo of him smiling with no top on, Mr Unsworth said. Forensic officers pictured combing the woodland after Alex was found dead in Ashley, Cheshire, on December 13 last year. Mr Unsworth told jurors they must consider whether Mason had intended to move Alex's body.
