Our thanks to a number of people for pointing us to this. A deeply troubling and tragic story, and the woman’s 19-year-old daughter is a witness for the prosecution. Extracts:
The jury was told she had beaten her husband throughout their relationship and Mr Edwards had been recorded saying his new wife could “knock him out with one punch” and that she hit “rather hard”…
The court heard Mrs Edwards told police: “I didn’t know he had walked into [the knife] until I saw all the blood”, and stated he had “begged” her not to call for an ambulance.
A much more detailed piece in the local paper is here.
As always dusted under the carpet…has this made the national news?
