A woman on trial for murder has said she did stab her partner but insisted she “doesn’t know why” and doesn’t remember picking up the knife, a court has heard.
Joanne Moran, 42, of Bridge Road, Litherland is currently standing trial at Liverpool Crown Court accused of murdering Jonathan Gibbons, who died after being stabbed in the chest. She has pleaded not guilty to one count of murder and one count of manslaughter, in relation to an incident on October 30 last year at a property on Bridge Road, Litherland.
A court today, Wednesday, heard that Moran and her partner, Mr Gibbons, had been playing cards and drinking vodka and whiskey in their living room for over 12 hours when an argument ensued at around 4am. Moran also confirmed that there was one other person at that address during the incident, but did not witness it directly.
