Jury in Stuart Newton murder trial must consider whether fatal blows were inflicted by defendant, or someone else
A defence barrister has told a jury that they must consider whether it was another man who delivered the fatal blows to a 65-year-old grandfather, and not the man charged with his murder.
During the closing speeches in the Stuart Newton murder trial at Preston Crown Court on Thursday, Paul Storrie told the jury they needed to be completely sure that it was defendant Nathan Williams who kicked and stamped on the Oswaldtwistle grandfather’s head in February last year, and not Mr Newton’s son-in-law and trial witness, Carl McMahon.
