A woman has gone on trial accused of murdering her partner by stabbing him to death in Dundee.
Kerri Hutcheson, 34, allegedly murdered 33-year-old Graeme Hutcheson in the Whitfield area of the city in March 2022.
Hutcheson, of Harcourt Street, denies the allegation against her and has lodged a special defence of self-defence.
It is alleged that on March 7 2022 at an address on Whitfield Avenue, she assaulted and murdered Mr Hutcheson by striking him on the body with a knife.
The Crown Office alleges that the offence was aggravated by the abuse of a partner or ex-partner.
Cause of death was stab wound
A joint minute – agreed by prosecutors and the defence – was read aloud to jurors at the High Court in Dundee.
This revealed that Mr Hutcheson, originally of the Cambuslang area, died as a result of a stab wound to the chest.
Emergency services had raced to the address after 11pm on the day in question but he was pronounced dead.
