A court's been told a woman accused of murdering her partner at Sand Bay caravan park near Weston was threatened by him and stabbed him accidentally.

41 year old Sharon Hodges denies deliberately stabbing Philip Gibbs last November, and the court heard she'd told police she just wanted to scare him with a knife... but the blade went into him as he lunged forwards.

The prosecution claim she slashed her own wrists afterwards to make it look like self-defence.

The trial continues.
