Pair plotted to kill singer Joss Stone, court told

Two men hatched a plot to rob and kill pop star Joss Stone before dumping her body in a river, a court heard yesterday.

Junior Bradshaw and Kevin Liverpool harboured deep hatred for the singer, who they referred to as a “she-devil”, it is claimed.

The pair set off from their home in Manchester with a samurai sword, knives, bags, and gloves crammed in their car, bound for Ms Stone’s home in mid-Devon, the court heard.
