A 64-year-old woman accused of attempting to murder her estranged husband after he secretly euthanised their two rescue dogs has told a court she has no memory of the stabbing. Claire Bridger allegedly attacked Keith Bridger with a kitchen knife, causing life-threatening injuries including a punctured lung, during a confrontation at his Norfolk home in July 2024.
The trial at Norwich Crown Court, ongoing as of 8 January 2026, heard how the couple's nearly 40-year relationship ended in separation, with pet custody becoming a flashpoint.
