Clifton George, 45, is accused of murdering his partner, Annabel Rook, 46, at their home in Dumont Road, Stoke Newington. According to court accounts reported by multiple outlets, the incident follows an argument at the property. The prosecution alleges that George then set a fire and caused a gas explosion at the home.
Both sources also report that witnesses describe George as showing signs of anger. One outlet says he was known for “unreasonable rage,” as the court hears details about his behaviour before the events leading to Rook’s death.
The cases described in the reports focus on allegations and what the court is hearing at this stage. The outlets do not provide further confirmed information on the cause of the fire beyond the claim that George started it and that it resulted in an explosion at the property.
