Marriage to Earl Was a Curse

The former nightclub hostess, Jamila M'barek, 45 said she did not marry Anthony Ashley-Cooper for his money. She said she had always been prosperous. Marrying him was a curse. She and her brother, both deny the murder charge, saying the Earl, who had homes in Hove and London was killed during a drunken row. The Earl was reported missing in 2004 and in April 2005, his body was discovered in undergrowth between Nice and Cannes. She says her brother was sick after the fight and forced her to help him put the Earl's body in the boot of his car.
