Remands over Joss Stone ‘murder plot’

Junior Bradshaw, 31, and Kevin Liverpool, 34, accused of 
conspiring to kill the star last 
year, were remanded in custody.

The pair are also accused of conspiracy to commit grievous 
bodily harm and conspiracy to rob.

They deny all the charges, which relate to an incident at Stone’s home in Devon in June last year.

Their trial was due to begin at Exeter Crown Court yesterday; however, Judge Francis Gilbert QC adjourned the proceedings to allow the defence team more time to explore further medical evidence. There had previously been question marks over whether Bradshaw would be fit to stand trial, having been moved to a mental health unit in March.

He and Liverpool, both of St Stephen’s Close, Manchester, and previously from Huddersfield, were arrested on the St Andrews Estate in Cullompton on June 13 last year.
