The 26-year-old had been charged with murdering Valerie Freer, 68, who died after being stabbed in the neck outside her home in the village of Whittington, near Lichfield, on February 24, 2022. She was found on her driveway by paramedics at around 10.53am.An inquest into Mrs Freer’s death on December 13 2022, heard her husband Derek Freer left their home to take their dogs for a walk for around 40 minutes on the morning of February 24, 2022.
DI Ian Fitzgerald, of Staffordshire Police, the senior investigator on the case, told South Staffordshire Coroner's Court, the ambulance arrived within minutes, but sadly she had already died from her injuries. "An incredibly beautiful lady both inside and out, she was always so loving and caring to all those around her. Val is loved infinitely by family and friends around the world. She will be hugely missed, remaining forever in our hearts."
