A woman accused of murdering her "drinking partner" says she did not realise he had been injured until an ambulance arrived at their home.
Cheryl O'Callaghan is currently standing trial at Liverpool Crown Court accused of the murder of 57-year-old Adrian Swift, whom it was reported was found dead in the bath at the address on Bishopsgate Street in Wavertree. But she allegedly beat her flatmate with a baseball bat and pushed him down the stairs during an assault on March 23 2021.
Jurors were previously told Mr Swift had stated to paramedics who were called to the scene that 46-year-old O'Callaghan, of Stanton Crescent in Kirkby, had been responsible. He discharged himself from hospital the following morning despite suffering severe injuries during the incident, dying hours later.
