PUBLISHED July 31, 2013

[2013] EWCA Crim 1394

A judge had erred in refusing a submission of no case to answer to a charge of murder on the basis of joint enterprise where no body had been recovered, as there was insufficient evidence to infer a prima facie case that a mother and daughter had acted together to kill their husband/father.
