The trial of an Oxfordshire woman charged with murdering her father has started this week.

Lisa Davenport, 55, of Washle Drive, Middleton Cheney, is accused of the murder of Barrie Davenport, who was pronounced dead at his home in Foxhall Court in School Lane, Banbury, on October 17 last year. 

She denies the charge.

A trial started at Oxford Crown Court on Monday, November 18. It is expected to resume on Thursday, November 21.

Opening Mr Davenport’s inquest last year, senior coroner Darren Salter said a cause of the octogenarian’s death was yet to be established.

She was found not guilty of a separate charge of attempted murder after prosecutors offered no evidence.

The trial continues.
