Therapist who killed lover ‘overreacted to any threat’

A HOMOEOPATHIC doctor who killed his young lover used force “totally out of proportion” to any threat he faced from the woman, a court heard yesterday.

Christopher Newman, 62, repeatedly knifed Georgina Eager in her Dublin bedroom and left a blade embedded in her neck.

She was about to dump ‘possessive’ Newman when he stabbed her in the flat in Walkinstown, Inner London Crown Court has heard.
