Murder accused told victim’s ex she smashed his head in, court hears

A WOMAN on trial for murdering a man known as “Gold-tooth” allegedly told the victim’s ex-partner she smashed his head in with a mallet, claiming she did it for her.

And, according to a prosecution witness, the accused woman had also stated: “Where a bad man stands, a tree should be planted.”

The claims emerged on the second day of the trial yesterday but disputed by the defence’s senior counsel.
