The mum of a woman who was allegedly strangled to death by her boyfriend has told a murder trial that she "didn't think he'd kill her".
Liam Cain is currently facing a jury at Liverpool Crown Court accused of murdering his girlfriend Courtney Boorne. She died aged 20 on December 23 last year after being found unresponsive at their flat on Quarry Green Heights in Kirkby.
Her mum Cheryl Boorne was called to give evidence on Tuesday afternoon. She told the court that the couple had been living at the apartment for around a year, and that they had stayed together at her address for "roughly two-and-a-half to three years" prior to this.
