LONDON - The court hearing for Britain’s Duke of Marlborough, who has been charged with three counts of intentional strangulation, has been adjourned, British police said on Dec 18.
Charles James Spencer-Churchill, 70, a distant relative of Winston Churchill, had been due to appear at Oxford Magistrates’ Court on Dec 18. The new date has yet to be confirmed, Thames Valley police said.
He was arrested in May 2024
