Josie 'was beaten and left for dead.' (Michael Stone accused of murder and attempted murder)
Article Abstract:
Michael Stone is standing trial at the Crown Court in Maidstone, England, for the murder of Dr Lin Russell and her daughter Megan and the attempted murder of Josie Russell on Jul 9, 1996. Stone has denied responsibility, but the jury has heard that he discussed details of the attack with a fellow prisoner after being targeted by other prisoners while in prison in Canterbury, England, on remand. There is no forensic evidence to connect Stone directly with the crime, but the prosecution states that the case against him rests on conservations with fellow prisoners and circumstantial evidence.
