Dundee man cleared of killing tower block fall woman

A MAN has been acquitted of killing his former partner in a fall from the window of a multi-storey block.

Nicholas Conning, 45, was accused of the culpable homicide of Jennifer Findlay, 46, at her home in Elders Court, Dundee, but a judge ruled there was insufficient evidence and freed Conning.

The High Court in Edinburgh heard that Conning, also known as Nicholas Shepherd, and Ms Findlay had been in a turbulent and violent relationship for a number of years, and continued to see each other after separating.
