A Kirkby pub paid a touching tribute to a "bubbly" nan stabbed to death in a car park.
Karen Dempsey died at the age of 55 after suffering a stab wound to the chest near to the Brambles pub, on Cherryfield Drive, in Kirkby town centre, shortly after 8pm on Monday, August 22. Her son Jamie Dempsey appeared before Liverpool Crown Court on Friday, charged with her murder.
Ms Dempsey was allegedly been trying to break up a fight behind the Brambles before her death having watched Liverpool FC's game with Manchester United in the pub. The 55-year-old was rushed to hospital where she was later pronounced dead.
