Overview

• Walpole is charged with murder, manslaughter, breaching a restraining order and two assaults after John Brown died six days following the alleged attack.
• The court heard that Walpole bought vodka early on November 23, attended a Coventry City match and returned to his grandfather’s bungalow before the fatal assault.
• Security cameras installed by Brown’s family captured the alleged killing and form a key component of the Crown’s case.
• About an hour later at Bulkington Working Men’s Club, Walpole is accused of smashing a glass over a club member’s head and making contact with a bar worker.
• Jakob Walpole denies all charges and further testimony and cross-examinations are set for upcoming sessions at Warwick Crown Court.
