If you or someone close to you has been arrested in connection with a death, the hours before the first interview matter more than any that follow. Speak to one of LP Evans’ homicide solicitors today.
LP Evans is regularly instructed in homicide. Recent matters include a conspiracy to commit murder involving three counts and possession of a firearm with intent at the Central Criminal Court; a 14-year-old charged with the murder of an 18-year-old; a teenager acquitted of murder alongside a brother acquitted of perverting the course of justice; and a defendant extradited from Albania, alleged to be a professional hitman, where the team persuaded the Crown to accept the lesser charge of possession of a firearm.
We have acted in murder with complex issues of joint enterprise, in gang-related murder, in single-punch manslaughter, and in child cruelty resulting in death. In one case at Winchester Crown Court a 28-year-old was acquitted of a ‘body in the boot’ murder in Bournemouth.
Homicide cases turn on evidence that is rarely straightforward: hundreds of hours of CCTV, mobile cell-site data, pathology and the law on joint enterprise. That analysis is where the defence is found, and it is what our senior solicitors do.
