A mum of one from Liverpool had her plans for a 'lovely night out' with a close friend ruined after opening an email.
Nikki Dransfield, 51, and Mandy Gilfoyle had bought tickets for a murder mystery-style event in Liverpool City Centre this Saturday, where they would be part of a 12-person jury deciding the guilt of fictitious suspects charged with murder. The pair, both avid fans of true crime documentaries, booked onto the event six months ago, and then began planning a big night out in Liverpool centred around the event, called The Murder Trial Live.
She told the ECHO : "We both love watching criminal documentaries and things like that, so we thought it would be fun and thought it was ideal- we'd do that then have a lovely night out in Liverpool afterwards. It was nearly six months ago that we booked it and we were really looking forward to it.
