Charles Jessop, 30, brutally attacked 33-year-old Clare Nash in front of her young son at her home in Newmarket, Suffolk on 16 January 2020. Ipswich Crown Court heard how he waited for the mum to return home before attacking her in front of her three-year-old son. Mid-way through the trial, Jessop admitted to manslaughter but denied he had planned to murder his ex-girlfriend. Jessop and Nash started a relationship in the second half of 2019 but had ended things after a number of "violent incidents". The prosecutor told the court: "She recorded problems she was having with Charles Jessop but didn't want to make a statement."
