The lover of alleged murder victim Tanveer Iqbal had sent a sexually explicit image of them together to his wife, a court heard.
Zatoon Bibi is said to have sent the picture of the music shop boss performing a sexual act on her to his partner Nasreen.
Bibi, 37, and ex-husband Gul Nawaz, 44,, and a 16-year-old male who can not be identified, have all denied murdering Mr Iqbal, 33.
The trial at Birmingham Crown Court has now been adjourned until September 12.
Bibi continued to give evidence last Thursday, where jurors heard details of the sex image.
Sally Howes QC, prosecuting, asked her what she thought she was doing when she sent explicit material of Tanveer performing a sexual act to her
Bibi said Nasreen had become aware of the photo and insisted on seeing it, adding: ”She asked for it - that’s why I sent it.”
She was asked what she thought Nasreen’s reaction would be. ”To be honest at the time nothing. I only sent her a screen shot. We had been doing that for years.”
