Murder trial told woman took 'likely fatal' cocaine dose

A woman allegedly murdered by her partner died with three times the amount of cocaine in her system than would "likely be fatal", a court has heard.

Olivia Wood, 29, of Northwich, Cheshire, was found by paramedics in a serious condition at her partner Kieron Goodwin's flat in Frome, Somerset, on 30 July 2024.

She died in hospital later that day, with the prosecution claiming Mr Goodwin had fatally strangled her.

Mr Goodwin, 33, is accused of conducting a campaign of controlling behaviour against Ms Wood during a three-month relationship. He has denied murder and causing grievous bodily harm, but has admitted a charge of coercive control against her.
