Trial started this week at Winchester Crown Court of 37-year old Winter Swan-Miller for the murder of a 62-year old former soldier in his Andover home in June last year. Gurdeep Garcha KC and Adam Western, instructed by BH Mohammed solicitors, are defending.
It is the prosecution case that the defendant inveigled her way into the deceased’s life in order to have a place to live and thereafter to financially exploit him. It is alleged that when the relationship soured she erupted into violence and stabbed him multiple times, before fleeing Hampshire and making her way to the West Midlands, from where she was later arrested. The defendant asserts that she killed the defendant whilst lawfully defending herself from a serious sexual assault by the deceased. The trial is also likely to feature expert evidence relating to the defendant’s mental condition at the time of the killing. The trial is estimated to last 8 weeks.
