Sean Ember, 35, was found dead with neck and chest wounds in the kitchen of a property in Andover, Hampshire, in November 2024.  Justin Griffith, 42, pretended that someone had broken in and carried out the attack, police said.  He phoned for an ambulance, telling call handlers that the culprit might still be in the garden.  The lie delayed life-saving efforts by paramedics and Mr Ember was pronounced dead at the scene, police added.

Griffith, whose previous addresses include Milton Road in Southsea and Botley Road in Southampton, was remanded into custody.  He will be sentenced at Winchester Crown Court on 22 August.
