A young woman screamed for help from the balcony of her 14th floor flat moments before she was allegedly strangled to death by her boyfriend, a murder trial has heard.
Liam Cain today went on trial at Liverpool Crown Court accused of murdering his girlfriend Courtney Boorne. He denies the charge. Ms Boorne died aged 20 after being found unresponsive in their flat on Quarry Green Heights in Kirkby on December 23 last year.
A jury of four men and eight women heard this afternoon the couple had been in a relationship for around three years by the Christmas of 2022. Gordon Cole KC, prosecuting, described how care worker Ms Boorne was seen leaving for work at 6.30am on the day of her death, with Cain subsequently heading out at roughly 10.30am.
