DESCRIPTION:
“There may have been some sort of consensual behaviour at the start of this night’s activity. But we say that you can be sure that, whatever may have started willingly, there is no way that Natalie either consented to or was able to consent to what John Broadhurst did to her after that, leading to her untimely, unseemly and tragic death.”
— Prosecutor David Mason QC, Birmingham Crown Court, November 2018.
