"Ms Zablocka, 30, stopped contacting her family in August 2010, the court heard on Tuesday. Giving evidence, Podedworna told the jury that Ms Zablocka was angry on the day of her death and asked why Podedworna had come home late from work. The defendant alleged that her former partner, who would regularly drink alcohol, grabbed her, pressed her up against the wall and strangled her until she found it difficult to breathe."
"Speaking about the day Ms Zablocka died, Podedworna told the jury she wanted her to leave me alone, to let me go. Podedworna told the court that she tried to grab Ms Zablocka's neck before she got hold of a figurine of a horse from a window and hit her with it. She said: I checked her pulse on the neck. I was trying to resuscitate her. Podedworna denied that she wanted to hurt Ms Zablocka."
