Woman faces murder charge

A WOMAN has denied murdering a man at a house in Burton after appearing in court yesterday.

Kayley Mahood, 29, entered a formal not guilty plea during an appearance at Stafford Crown Court via video link from Foston Hall Prison.

Mahood, of Rosliston Road, Stapenhill, is alleged to have murdered Oliver O’Toole on July 25.

He was pronounced dead at the scene after officers were called to a residential address in Rosliston Road.

Mahood was remanded in custody and was told a trial, estimated to last 10 days, will begin on January 10.

Floral tributes were left in Rosliston Road following Mr O’Toole’s death. Olympic bronze medallist Frazer Clarke also had a T-shirt made in honour of the 31-year-old after knowing him through Burton Amateur Boxing Club.
