Some people living in Thorpe St Andrew have recalled what happened in the moments prior to and after the body of Tania Williams was discovered in January this year.

Raymond Williams has gone on trial accused of murdering Ms Williams, his estranged wife.

The 49-year-old mother-of-four was found "lying in a pool of blood" outside on the road near her home in Catherine Gardens before police were called at 11.41 pm on January 17.

Giving evidence at Norwich Crown Court on Monday (August 3), Natalie Dawson, who lived in the area, said she had fallen asleep on the sofa in the lounge and went to bed at about 11.30 pm.
