Joss Stone murder plot: gang 'conspired to rob and kill' Kevin Liverpool, 35, and Junior Bradshaw, 32, were arrested near the wealthy soul singer's isolated home in Devon after being spotted by "eagle-eyed" locals, a jury was told. Simon Morgan, prosecuting, told jurors: "This case is all about a decision by a group of individuals, of whom these defendants are two, to rob and kill Joss Stone. That is not a phrase I have plucked from the air. It is used in documents written by Mr Liverpool during the planning stages of this plot. We don't know who the others are but that does not matter. Your concern is whether these two were part of the plot. It doesn't matter what part they took or planned to take. He added: "Joss Stone is an extremely wealthy young woman. These defendants drove from Manchester to find her. Fortunately they were not successful, although she was at home. They were reported by eagle-eyed people of small communities surrounding Cullompton. Mr Liverpool and Mr Bradshaw, both from Longsight, Manchester, have pleaded not guilty to conspiring with person or persons unknown between January and June 2011 to murder Stone. They have also denied conspiring to cause the singer grievous bodily harm and conspiring to rob her. The trial, which is due to last for around three weeks, continues.
