Murder charge therapist was arrogant, court told

AN alternative therapist accused of murdering his young Irish lover was “arrogant” and “domineering”, his receptionist told a court yesterday.

Lisa O’Brien was working for Christopher Newman, whom she knew as “the Professor”, at his Dublin clinic at the time.

She told the jury at Inner London Crown Court how he would scan through Georgina Eager’s mobile phone and become angry if men called asking for a massage from her.
