The girlfriend of an alleged murderer told him “I love you, I’m sorry, get out the country” after he knifed a dad-of-two in the heart, a court heard.
Prosecutors say Adam Fletcher stabbed Paul Stenson in the heart outside a home on West Derby’s Princess Drive where both had been attending a party and that Susie Lee, his then girlfriend, was one of three people who tried to help him evade justice.
Fletcher is currently on trial at Liverpool Crown Court and stands accused of murder and of possessing a bladed article. Lee and two of Fletcher’s friends, Demi Walsh and Nathan Finnegan are all accused of assisting an offender, while Lee also faces an additional charge of witness intimidation. The four deny the charges.
