A jury has been sent out to consider their verdict in the murder trial of a woman who stabbed her partner in the chest.
Joanne Moran, 42, of Bridge Road, Litherland is currently standing trial at Liverpool Crown Court accused of murdering Jonathan Gibbons. She has pleaded not guilty to one count of murder and one count of manslaughter.
Moran and her partner, Mr Gibbons, had been playing cards and drinking vodka and whisky in their living room for over 12 hours on October 30 last year, when an argument ensued at around 4am. There was one other person at that address during the incident, but he did not witness it directly.
