A woman is accused of murdering her partner by hitting him on the head with a meat tenderiser during a drink-fuelled row.
Baiba Andersone, aged 35, did nothing to help Dainius Dobrovolskis after striking the fatal blow but tried to clean up bloodstains at the home they shared in Stephenson Street, Great Horton, Bradford.
Mr Dobrovolskis, aged 41, was found by paramedics dead in the living room at the address shortly before 8pm on September 5 last year.
Andersone pleads not guilty to murdering him and denies an alternative charge of manslaughter. The jury was told that she is claiming she acted in self-defence.
Prosecutor Simon Waley said yesterday the couple had been together for several years.
“It is clear that they had a stormy relationship and that this was exacerbated by regular joint use of alcohol. They had loud, regular and frequent arguments,”
A forensic scientist said her blood-stained clothing suggested a “dynamic interaction” with Mr Dobrovolskis while he was injured and bleeding.
