Stone Kidnap Plot Denied

A man appeared in court Oct. 24 to deny involvement in a plot to either kidnap or kill soul star Joss Stone.

Kevin Liverpool, 34, was at Exeter Crown Court to plead not guilty to conspiracy to murder, conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm and conspiracy to commit robbery.

He and Junior Bradshaw, 31, who are both from Manchester, are accused of targeting the 24-year-old singer between January and June.

Bradshaw was also in court but didn’t have to enter a plea because he’s waiting on the result of psychiatric tests.

Both men were arrested June 13 near where Stone, who is said to be worth about £9 million, has a home in Devon.
The full trial is scheduled for August 2012.
