Trial over murder of Wisbech woman to start 12 years on
Una Crown's body was found at her home in the town in January 2013
The trial of a man accused of murdering an 86-year-old woman in Wisbech is due to start today.
Una Crown was found in a pool of blood at her home in Magazine Lane on January 13, 2013.
Mrs Crown's death was initially treated as an accident, before a murder investigation was launched days later.
Cambridgeshire Police said a post-mortem examination showed Mrs Crown died from stab wounds to her neck and chest.
David Newton, of Magazine Close in Wisbech, was arrested in April 2024 and entered a not guilty plea at Cambridge Crown Court last May.
A trial at the same court is estimated to last for four weeks.
