Hello and welcome to the Oxfordshire Court and Crime Podcast where in this episode your host, Gee Harland, talks about cases recently heard across Oxfordshire courts.

The main focus today is the sentencing of Bailey Heywood, 23, a nursery worker who was found guilty of murdering her 45-year-old boyfriend, Dale Bond, in Bicester on March 13, 2024.

She argued it was self-defence, believing Mr Bond was going to stab her first.
