A jury has failed to reach a verdict in the trial of a woman accused of murdering her husband.

Teresa Hanson, 54, denied fatally stabbing Paul Hanson, 54, at their home in West Cowick, near Snaith, East Yorkshire, on 28 December 2022.

A jury at Mrs Hanson's Hull Crown Court trial deliberated for around 11 hours, but was unable to reach a verdict.

On Thursday, Judge John Thackray KC, Recorder of Hull, discharged the jury and set a retrial date of 11 September.

The judge granted Mrs Hanson bail until that time.
