Coleen Rooney victim of £5,000 blackmail plot
Jennifer Green, 25, and Steven Malcolm, 42, both from Manchester, are accused of demanding the cash from the celebrity wife of Manchester United and England striker Wayne Rooney.
Both defendants, who deny the charges, were arrested after Coleen Rooney’s mobile phone went missing while at a concert at the MEN Arena in Manchester in May 2010. Green’s partner, Lee Platt, has already admitted handling stolen goods and blackmail, the jury at Manchester Crown Court heard.
