Jamie Dempsey was charged with murder after his mother Karen died aged 55 following the incident in the car park of the Brambles in Kirkby town centre on Monday night. The 32-year-old, of Brechin Road in Northwood, appeared before Liverpool Crown Court this morning, Friday, via video link to HMP Altcourse wearing a grey Under Armour t-shirt and sporting short brown hair and a beard.
