Woman who stabbed boyfriend to death says she 'didn't want to kill him'

The woman accused of murdering her boyfriend in the heart after a drinking binge said it was a tragic accident.

Emma Walsh, 31, took to the witness box at Liverpool Crown Court today (Monday) as the defence began its case. She has denied the murder of her boyfriend Gary Morgan, 36, after stabbing him in the chest at her dad's home on Lavan Close in Everton. The couple had spent around six hours in the pub watching football on the television before returning to the bungalow, where the violence unfolded.

During her cross-examination by Richard Pratt KC, defending, Walsh admitted both she and Mr Morgan had drunk a large quantity of alcohol and had also taken cocaine during the course of the day.
