A woman cleared of murdering her ex-husband "gloated" about killing him, a court heard. In 2012 a jury acquitted Sharon Hodges of fatally stabbing Philip Gibbs at their caravan at Sand Bay caravan park, in Kewstoke near Weston-super-Mare.
But a jury at Bristol Crown Court heard that, last year, Hodges assaulted Neil Mathisen who she was living with. And in a second assault on Syleka Edwards, a drunk and aggressive Hodges was heard to be "gloating about having murdered her ex-husband by stabbing him".
Hodges, 51, of Meadowsweet Avenue in Filton, pleaded guilty to two assaults and breaching a non-molestation order. She appeared from custody for sentence today (March 9, 2022).
