Jury on break in wife’s trial for murder

THE jury in the trial of a woman accused of trying to kill her husband before meeting another man she met on the internet was sent home for the weekend yesterday.

Joanne Hale is accused of slitting her husband’s throat after taking him to a wood in Bristol.

Hale, 39, denies attempting to murder her husband Peter, 43, as well as wounding him with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, on December 27 last year.
