Man accused of mum's murder told his story of tragic night was 'utter nonsense'

A man who denies murdering his estranged wife has been accused of 'fabricating' a version of events.

Jade Marsh – who was also known as Jade Ward – was killed at her home in Shotton, Flintshire, on August 26 last year. Russell Marsh, of Chevrons Road in Shotton, was charged with the 27-year-old mum's murder after he was filmed by officers telling them he had "done something horrible."

Marsh told Mold Crown Court that that her death and his actions on that night had left him "devastated". The prosecution insisted Marsh had killed Ms Ward because he saw her "moving on" with her life.
