we are told that the defendant is pleading not guilty to murder but guilty o manslaughter. I cant find wht type of manslaughter he is pleading in any of the press coverage. Does anyone know? Im guesing it must be the special defence of diminished responsibility but really only because i cant see it being anything else, surely not loss of contol or constructive manslaughter as she was strangled.
