Connah's Quay murder: Emma Berry admits killing Dean Bennett

A 46-year-old woman has pleaded guilty to murder after stabbing a man to death.

Emma Berry, of Dock Road, in Connah's Quay, Flintshire, has admitted killing 31-year-old Dean Michael Bennett.

Mr Bennett was flown to hospital after being stabbed in Connah's Quay on 22 May, but was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Berry previously pleaded not guilty and was due to go on trial on Monday, but changed her plea before her case began.

She was told by Judge Rhys Rowlands at Mold Crown Court there could only be one sentence as murder carries mandatory life sentence.

Mr Bennett's family previously said: "Dean's daughter has paid tribute saying that he was the 'best Daddy ever' and she's going to miss him always.

"As a family it is heartbreaking what has happened. We want to thank everyone for the support we have received. We will always miss him, and he will never be forgotten."

They released balloons in his memory in Connah's Quay on Saturday, 29 May.

Berry will be sentenced on Tuesday.
