Murder conviction overturned four years after Emerald's death

Emerald Wardle was killed at a home at Metford in June, 2020. Her boyfriend, Jordan Miller, was found guilty of murder in Newcastle Supreme Court in 2022, a jury finding the psychosis he was suffering was caused solely by using drugs.

IT has been nearly four years since Emerald Wardle was killed, strangled by a young man in the grips of a psychosis and under the delusional belief that his 18-year-old girlfriend was a "demon" who was "sucking the life out of him".

Jordan Miller was in 2022 found guilty of murdering Ms Wardle, a jury finding the psychosis he was suffering at the time of her death was caused "solely" by using LSD and cannabis.
