Polly Murphy, 42, was convicted of murdering James Self, a man with liver disease, after a three-day assault in November 2023 at a Clacton hotel.

Prosecutors upgraded the charge from grievous bodily harm to murder in March 2024, citing threatening texts and evidence of prior injuries.
Murphy denied the charges, arguing Self’s pre-existing conditions and possible memory issues from liver disease affected his reliability.
The nearly two-month trial faced delays due to legal changes.
Sentencing is set for February 4, 2026.
Authorities highlighted that domestic abuse affects all genders and urged victims to seek help.
