Woman pleads guilty to manslaughter of her partner who died from stab wound

A woman has admitted killing a "loving, doting" man who was found dead with a stab wound at his home. Carrie McGuinness has pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Steven John Davies having previously denied the charge.

Mr Davies was found dead by a neighbour just after 11am on June 15 at his home in Glyncoch, near Pontypridd. A post-mortem examination later confirmed the 39-year-old had died from a stab wound.

His partner Carrie McGuinness was arrested on suspicion of his murder and previously entered not guilty pleas to that charge and one of manslaughter. But at the first day of her trial at Cardiff Crown Court on Tuesday, the 34-year-old defendant pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
