Paul Hanson, 54, died after being found stabbed three days after Christmas

A woman accused of murdering her husband will stand trial in June.

Teresa Hanson, 54, of West Cowick, near Snaith, East Yorkshire, was charged with murder after the death of her husband, Paul, on 28 December.

Mr Hanson, 54, died after he was found with a stab wound at a property on Little London Lane in West Cowick.

On Tuesday, Mrs Hanson appeared at Hull Crown Court where she heard her trial would start on 12 June. She was bailed until her next appearance in March.

She is due to appear at the same court on 20 March for a plea and trial preparation hearing.

Judge John Thackray KC told Mrs Hanson there were "exceptional circumstances having regard to the background and circumstances of the offence as alleged against you", meaning she should not be remanded in custody.

Her bail conditions included an electronically-monitored curfew and instructions not to enter West Cowick.
