Template:12 January

12th January 2007: In No.6 Coronation Street, Tracy Barlow hits her boyfriend Charlie Stubbs twice on the head with an ornament, resulting in fatal head injuries. Tracy is charged with his murder, despite her pleas that she attacked him in self-defence. Tracy's ploy, part of a scheme to get revenge on Charlie for cheating on her with Maria Sutherland, has been to convince the neighbours that Charlie is abusive towards her, by faking rows with him and even injuring herself, so that they will believe that he attacked her when in actual fact she has murdered him in cold blood. To leave no room for doubt, Tracy also cuts herself with a knife and puts the knife in the dying Charlie's hand. As she is taken into police custody, Tracy wonders whether she will get away with murder.
