TRIAL: Judge Nicolas Cartwright is presiding over the trial at Worcester Crown Court A ‘BULLY’ accused of trying to drown his ‘terrified’ former partner in the bath says he was only trying to frighten her and did not want to kill her, a court heard. Richard Evans entered the witness box on Wednesday, telling a jury he ‘could not cope’ when he attacked Jane Webster in the bath at his home in Ronkswood Hill, Worcester. The 48-year-old said he told Mrs Webster to ‘get in the bath’ after a night out drinking in the Gun Tavern in Worcester on July 4 last year. Jennifer Josephs, prosecuting, described Evans as a ‘bully’ and a ‘controlling man’ when she cross-examined him.
