Jeannie Smith was stabbed outside her home in a brawl in the early hours of the Saturday morning 31 October 2009.
A man was convicted for her murder but his conviction was later overturned. The judges said that there were severe question marks over the reliability of a witness who identified him in court. The man who had said in court that he was 100% sure that the man on trial was the man who had stabbed Jeannie Smith was later shown to have attended two identity parades earlier on when he had not been able to identify anyone in the first parade and on the second occasion had picked out a stand in.
