Joss Stone Murder Plotters Convicted


Music fans might remember the strange murder plot involving Joss Stone that was discovered in 2011. Two men, Junior Bradshaw and Kevin Liverpool, had apparently planned on beheading the English pop star with a samurai sword and then dumping her body into a river because of her social connections with the British Royal Family.

Stone has a country home in Devon, and when residents saw the two unknown men driving and acting strangely, they immediately alerted police. After the men were arresting for their suspicious behavior (such as asking a local postman for directions to Stone’s home), their vehicle was searched. Inside, police found many incriminating objects, including samurais swords, a hammer, a spike, black bags, tape, and hosepipe. The men also had notes on them, which detailed their plans for Ms. Stone.

Bradshaw and Liverpool were charged with conspiracy to commit murder, conspiracy to commit robbery, and conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm. On Wednesday, April 3rd, both men were convicted of the crime. A search of Liverpool’s home led to the discovery of a personal diary that laid out detailed plans to rob and attack the singer. He received a life sentence with a 10-year minimum term.

Bradshaw, on the other hand, has not yet been sentenced because of his mental state. He was transferred to a mental health ward in 2012 for evaluation. He has claimed that he is schizophrenic, doesn’t remember whose idea it was to go to Devon, and says he didn’t even know who Joss Stone was before this case came up. He also says he only remembers being jailed for two months, when he was in fact in jail for over a year. He pleaded not guilty to the crime, saying he thought he and Liverpool were just “going on a day out” and nothing more.
