Brian Hughes Faces Murder Trial | London News

A 49-year-old man, Brian Hughes, is set to stand trial next year on life-altering charges—including murder and domestic abuse—following the death of his 41-year-old partner, Joanne Newlands. Prosecutors allege he subjected her to brutal assaults over several days, causing fatal blunt force trauma and neglecting to seek medical help. He’s also accused of attempting to kill her earlier by strangulation and of years of abuse, including threats and theft of her jewelry. Hughes denies all charges, and the trial, scheduled for October 25th, is expected to last ten days. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
