Lisa Ellwood, 40, is standing trial at Leeds Crown Court accused of murdering her husband, 42-year-old Ryan, at their home in Greewood Court, Wakefield, on August 29, 2023.
It is said Ryan died after being stabbed with a knife which pierced his rib, lung and aorta. Mrs Ellwood claims she has no recollection of the attack. The court heard last week she claimed she had arrived home and found her husband injured, and even suggested her 16-year-old daughter could be responsible.

A jury heard this week that the couple were in a violent relationship and the Irish woman was “volatile, aggressive and controlling.” The Dubliner moved to Wakefield, West Yorkshire, from Ireland in 2019 with her two daughters to be with Ryan.(…) prosecutor, Craig Hassell KC said the couple's relationship, which began in 2018, had been marred by "violence and aggression from both sides". He said that on the day of Ryan's death, the couple had taken a taxi to Wakefield city centre and were drinking in the Blind Pig pub. CCTV played to the jury apparently showed the couple have an argument at approximately 10pm. Shortly after, Ellwood left the pub and sat on a bench outside. Ryan was captured jumping into a taxi while CCTV reportedly caught Ellwood staggering home on her own. (…) When she arrived home she spoke with her daughter (16), who had been babysitting her younger sibling. Lisa then went into the kitchen where Ryan was and an argument began, the Court heard.
Ellwood daughter came into the kitchen after hearing shouting. She saw Ryan stricken on the floor with blood "spewing out".
