The trial of a Glastonbury landlady accused of the murder of her lodger got underway in Bristol Crown Court yesterday.

Dawn Lewis, 53 from Chilkwell Street, - who also went by the name Dawn Pendragon - phoned 999 on 18 April, claiming her lodger, Glenn Richards, had tried to attack her in the early hours of April 19.

Jurors heard Mr Richards was a former police officer who admitted the manslaughter of his wife because of diminished responsibility in 2002.

He had moved to Glastonbury after his release from prison and had become friends with Miss Lewis 12 years earlier, living with her since August 2021.
