David Liptrot, of Shelley Close, Coppull, denies murdering Caroline Gore but accepts manslaughter
A 43-year-old was brutally stabbed to death while using the toilet after her boyfriend, David Liptrot, allegedly waited for her in her flat for three hours following a drunken argument, a trial heard.
Mr Liptrot has pleaded guilty to manslaughter, jurors at his Manchester Crown Court trial were told. He accepts he unlawfully killed her by stabbing her with a knife. He denies murder, saying he did not intend to cause her serious injury, jurors were told. Jurors were told Mr Liptrot was prosecuted twice for assaulting Ms Gore in 2022 and was handed two short prison sentences. He was made the subject of a restraining order, banning him from contacting her for two years, the court heard.
The court heard he asked members of the public to check if she was in the toilets. He then repeatedly tried to call her and twice returned to the Wheatsheaf pub in Atherton, making ‘cursory inspections’ of the rooms, jurors were told. Mr Liptrot went to her flat at Douglas House, in Wigan, and got into communal area by following someone in, the court heard.
