Sophie described how an emotional Bradley called her and said White had hurt him and was really upset. Sophie said she didn't believe White had hurt anyone else.

A witness statement from Daisy Roberts is being read out, she says she met Bradley who admitted he had a girlfriend, but wished he was with her instead
The jury is being read a series of witness statements. Daisy Roberts stated that on March 25 she was aware Bradley had died and there was a murder investigation. She said she met Bradley in May 2021 and he admitted having a girlfriend and could not take her number. He then texted her and arranged to meet her the next day. He came over and slept with her, she said, and they had further contact in the days that followed. Bradley had stated he had been engaged for years. Later Bradley texted her and said he wished he was with her as opposed to his partner, the court heard. On May 22, 2021, she saw him for the last time and he gave her an orchid and his shirt, the court heard. They continued to message but on July 6 she got no reply. They then lost contact.

White had been stressed in days before the incident
Dr Sandford conceded in the days before the incident White had been stressed due to factors including Bradley being unfaithful as well as her induced abortion.
He said the manifestations of White's personality disorder could be heightened as a result. The doctor added that White had difficulty controlling her emotions and difficulty controlling her anger.
Dr Sandford's evidence is concluded.

White suffers from a borderline personality disorder
Dr Sandford confirmed to the jury mum-of-three White had decided to have a pregnancy with Bradley terminated because she thought that was for the best. He also confirmed White said she had repeatedly called 999 to get Bradley help at the time of the incident but had not been able to get through immediately.
The doctor confirmed White suffers from a borderline personality disorder with emotionally unstable and dissocial features. The doctor said most people with a personality disorder make wrong choices. He said White's personality disorder could manifest in traits or patterns.
In White's case that could be negative mood, taking things out of proportion and low self-esteem. Another of her traits could be disinhibition and recklessness he said. He added that a third White trait could involve episodes of self-harm and inappropriate, intense anger.

Doctor concludes White 'knew what she was doing'
Dr Sandford concluded White has no mental health illness or intellectual disability. He said she had a non-severe personality disorder and at times could be emotionally unstable. He said she had never been taken on as a mental health outpatient.
He said on March 25 she was not suffering from an abnormal mental health state but was upset with her partner about his infidelity and lack of commitment to her.
Dr Sandford concluded at the time of the offence she knew what she was doing, and on that evening she picked up a knife just to scare him and not cause serious damage. She had been able to call an ambulance, as well as a neighbour, and was capable of forming rational thought.
She had been drinking, and some of her previous violence was on the context of being drunk, the doctor said. He added the couple were in an unstable and volatile relationship and the stabbing was in the context of a domestic dispute.

White would 'belittle' Bradley on TikTok
White was polite, pleasant and engaging in interview and showed no thought disorder, abnormal thinking, memory impairment or psychosis. She showed sadness about Bradley's death, the court heard.
She was reflective about her relationship difficulties and said Bradley was "coercive, controlling and manipulative". The doctor said he had read accounts that White could be nice one minute and aggressive and hysterical in the next.
He also read accounts that White used a TikTok social media account to belittle Bradley, and accounts White had been violent to Bradley. There was also evidence that White said she wanted to kill Bradley and another woman, but had stated she couldn't do prison time.

White said she picked up the knife to scare Bradley
Back at her house the couple tussled and argued, she said. She picked up a knife to scare Bradley, but she didn't want to cause him serious harm. She said Brad went near her, the knife went into him, he looked at her and said her name and she saw blood squirting out of him.

Bradley admitted to White, that night, he had been unfaithful
White told Dr Sandford shortly before the killing Bradley admitted being unfaithful, and she had been cross because he had always denied it. White said on March 25 she was expecting Bradley to make some effort and demonstrate he was committed to their relationship. She said she had a bottle of wine and drank a Jägerbomb and two rum and cokes before Bradley turned up and they started arguing. She could not recall hittiing Bradley, but recalled that a man had hit her.
White described being six or seven out of 10 innebriated and said she had a small amount of cocaine.

White's history with alcohol and drugs has been detailed, she also said she didn't feel she and Bradley had a healthy relationship
White said she stayed with Bradley because she loved him "so much". She said when she had threatened to leave he had wanted to kill himself and she didn't want that. White admitted drinking fairly regularly by the age of 13 but was never alcohol dependant. She said she sometimes used cocaine recreationally when she went out. The doctor said White had charted her contact with psychiatric services, including overdoses. She has a history of attempted suicide and self-harm in response to stresses in her life, feeling that Bradley was not supportive of her, he would call her "crazy" and she didn't feel they had a healthy relationship. What she said matched her medical records, Dr Sandford said. He told the jury she had a history of emotional difficulties from 12 or 13, had been prescribed anti-depressants. In March 2022 she was discussing therapy for emotional instability, Dr Sandford said.

Their relationship was 'controlling'
Dr Sandford said White acknowledged a very tough and very controlling relationship with Bradley and claimed he would be quite manipulative and he was frequently unfaithful to her and she admitted there was violence both ways.

White said her only job was posting on OnlyFans where she made £50,000 in her first year
White said she had never had a job, but had worked self-employed on a website called OnlyFans, and had made some £50,000 from that in the first year - though made around a £1,000 a month after that. White confirmed she had a serious relationship aged 15, for seven months, then one at 16 for five months with a 29-year-old man before her relationship with Bradley.

A consultant forensic psychiatrist is now going over White's difficult childhood
The prosecutor has called Dr John Sandford, a consultant forensic psychiatrist. He told the jury he had been supplied with witness statements, transcripts of phone calls, as well as medical and social services records. He then took White' account of what happened. The court heard she had a difficult childhood, with violence from her dad to her mum - who split when she was aged four. She said, after that, her step-father physically abused her and she she was taken into foster care. Dr Sandford confirmed White had lived with her gran and dad, her schooling was disrupted and was excluded from school, going into a pupil referral unit. The court heard she acknowledged there had been behavioural problems.

In a voice note White is heard saying she'll end up killing him if he hurts her again
The jury is looking at three voice notes recovered from White's phone. She says "I have to beat the living daylights out of him and he still doesn't tell me the truth". She also says she can't trust anyone, and everyone knew how bad she could get - and recently she's been getting bad and there's no limits. She concedes that she'll end up killing 'him' if he hurts her again and she'll go to prison.

White called police about an assault on the night of Bradley's death
Welcome back to Court One, where the trial has resumed. The prosecutor is playing a short video taken by Crime Scene Investigators who attended Chipperfield Drive on Match 26. The jury is listening to a call White made to police at 7.38pm on March 25 when she reported that she had been attacked at Siston Common. After she says that the call has muffled background sound before being disconnected. At 7.42pm police rang the number back, and White tells them "I just got attacked" by a man at the pub. She says the man punched her to the ground at the Horseshoe pub. She then says she doesn't want police to come as she just wants to go home, before giving a description of the assailant. She then says she doesn't want to talk about and says she wants to sleep on it and will let them know if she wants to take it further
