A woman standing trial alongside her boyfriend for the murder of John Littlewood has told the trial they did not kill him – saying he was their “best friend.”

Tracey Bunney, 45, and Marty Bates, 31, of Tenth Street in Blackhall Colliery, deny killing the 36-year-old dad, known as John D.

He was found dead of head injuries in his Third Street home on Tuesday, July 30, 2019, with the prosecution case he was attacked in the early hours Friday, July 26, after Bates was driven to the back of his house in his BMW by Bunney.
