Same-sex ‘bigamy’ case goes to trial

A 29-year-old woman accused of entering into a civil partnership ceremony with her lesbian partner while still married to a man has appeared in court.

Suzanne Mitchell, of Wingfield Gardens, Shrewsbury, was committed for Crown Court trial by magistrates in the town.

She is accused of making a false statement by entering into a union with Catherine Beddowes before her marriage to Charles Mitchell had been annulled.

The mother-of-three is accused of falsely declaring that she was single when registering the civil partnership.
