Innocent and blameless | |
Jaggs was initially charged with Miss Braham's murder but he denied this charge in court on Thursday. | |
The court heard Miss Braham was an "entirely innocent and blameless" young woman who had been killed in her own home. | |
She was a promising fashion graduate whose father is art director at the famous public school. | |
When police were called to reports of screaming at the house, officers found Jaggs naked and yelling incomprehensibly. | |
When they confronted him he began stabbing himself in the chest as Miss Braham lay in a pool of blood at his feet. | |
Jaggs injured himself so badly that he fell into a coma and it was several days before police could interview him. |
