A woman, 53, has appeared in court charged with the murder of her ex-partner, as a man, 33, and a woman, 29, have also been charged over the killing.
Helen Shakespeare is accused of stabbing Raymond Groves, 48, to death at her home in Easterton, Wiltshire — and of conspiring with others to commit murder.
She appeared at Swindon Magistrates Court on Saturday, wearing a grey tracksuit, and spoke only to confirm her name, age and address during the brief hearing.
Prosecutor Kate Prince told magistrates that Shakespeare 'has stabbed her ex-partner at her home address, which has resulted in his death'.
Mr Groves, from Bristol, died of stab wounds, the court was told.
