The woman accused of murdering Josie Ray allegedly headbutted her daughter the night before the killing. The claim was laid out for the court during the latest hearing in the case. Prosecutors also detailed a history of threats inside the family. The deceased's daughter had previously threatened to stab her mother, the court heard. Taken together, the accusations point to escalating trouble in the household in the run-up to the death. None of it has been tested, and the accused retains the presumption of innocence. The case is still at an early stage, and further hearings lie ahead.
