David Newton, 70, is on trial for the 2013 murder of Una Crown, 86, after a decade-long investigation.

In 2013, 86-year-old Una Crown was found dead in her Cambridgeshire home, stabbed and partially burnt. After a decade-long investigation, 70-year-old David Newton is on trial for her murder. The prosecution claims male DNA matching Newton's was found on Crown's nail clippings. Newton denies the charges. The trial, expected to last four to five weeks, highlights a police error in initially treating the death as non-suspicious.
