My door was unlocked on night of murder plot, says Joss Stone Miss Stone, 25, was giving evidence in the trial of Kevin Liverpool, 35, and Junior Bradshaw, 32, of Longsight, Manchester, who are charged with plotting to rob and murder the soul singer in June, 2011. I had an alarm, but I did not really turn it on very much. I didn't really have a lock on my door. But I do now. She added: "At the time I had a gate. To get in, they [visitors] would just open the gate, drive in with their car, get up to another [wooden] gate, shut the gate hopefully so the dogs don't get out, then say hello. Miss Stone, wearing a white blouse and black skirt, said everybody in the area knew where each other lived. She said: "I didn't really feel worried about it [security]. I think I can say that for everybody who lives around there. Until now. She described her tour diary as "private," but said that anyone wanting to know whether she was at home might "put two and two together" with the help of her published concert dates. The court heard that the two defendants had previously gained evidence about one of Miss Stone's former homes, near Cullompton off the M5, after studying a video documentary she agreed to be made for MTV's Cribs series. They had chosen Miss Stone as a target because of her royal connections, the court heard. The singer had performed at charity concerts attended by the Duke of Cambridge and was a guest at his wedding to Kate Middleton. The two kidnappers, driving a Fiat Punto, stopped Alex Greening, a postman, on their search for Miss Stone's home. One of them showed a photo of the singer and asked Mr Greening if he knew where she lived, the court heard. Mr Greening told Exeter Crown Court: "The driver and passenger were two dark gentlemen with Manchester accents." Mr Liverpool and Mr Bradshaw deny conspiracy to murder, conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm and conspiracy to rob.
