Woman ‘stabbed boyfriend after finding him in nude tub party’

A WOMAN stabbed and killed her boyfriend after finding him naked in a hot tub with a group of men and women, a court has heard.

Christopher Pearson, 39, died after suffering a stab wound to the abdomen at his home in Hucknall, Nottinghamshire, in February.

His girlfriend, Demi Harris, 21, is accused of first pouring a bleach like substance into the hot tub in their garden before then attacking Mr Pearson with a knife. She denies murder.

Michael Auty QC, prosecuting, said the pair had been out drinking and had invited some friends back to their home.

Miss Harris went to bed while her boyfriend and their guests went to the garden and climbed into the tub.

When she awoke some hours later she saw Mr Pearson and two other men naked while two women were in their underwear.

Mr Auty said: “She felt plainly humiliated and embarrassed by what was happening... and that got the better of her. These are not the actions of a cowed woman... a timorous waif.”

Nottingham Crown Court heard that Miss Harris then went back into the house followed by a naked Mr Pearson.

But when one of the women went inside, she saw Mr Pearson lying on the floor injured.

She described Miss Harris as “distressed”, saying “What have I done... I’ve gone too far this time”.

Mr Auty said Miss Harris claimed to have only “jabbed” her boyfriend to stop him attacking her.

“Significantly, when all of this was over she didn’t have a mark on her. Not a bruise,” he said.

The trial continues.
