A court's been told a woman accused of murdering her partner at Sand Bay caravan park near Weston slashed her own wrists to make it look like self-defence.

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

The trial continues and is expected to last until the end of the month.
