A judge directed a not guilty verdict on a woman charged with killing a man in Hartcliffe. Caroline Simons was charged with the murder of Stephen Cadman at Rowan House on September 16 last year.
Mrs Simons, 55, whose address was given as Rowan House, appeared at Bristol Crown Court today. (June 15, 2022) A trial into the allegation had been pencilled in for October.
James Ward, prosecuting, said Mrs Simons was charged on the basis it was suspected she murdered the deceased and was remanded in custody. He told the court she was then bailed and a complex police investigation continued.
