A grandmother murdered her husband of 34 years by plunging a kitchen knife into his heart while preparing a post-Christmas dinner.
Hairdresser Teresa Hanson, 54, was making a Mediterranean tart in the kitchen of their marital home when she fatally wounded Paul Hanson, 54, in West Cowick, East Yorkshire, last December.
Hanson deliberately thrust the knife into his chest before continuing to caramelise onions with the same bloodied blade, jurors concluded.

Justice for Men & Boys 
I see yet again the murderess has tried to use the “coercive control” defense pioneered by Ms. Bindell’s partner Harriet Wistrich, most famously in the case of a woman who lured her estranged husband to her house where she ambushed him and beat him to death with a hammer . Where an appeal court was persuaded that her mid was temporarily unbalanced due to “years” of coercive control; domestic abuse. In this case these claims, against which of course the dead men can offer no rebuttal because they’re dead, seem not to have been believed and a murder verdict returned(though the judge may yet reflect some belief in this in sentencing.
And another case where the woman uses a kitchen knife and kills with just one blow. This scenario, a single knife strike in precisely the most lethal part of the chest when the man is completely unprepared, appears to be common in the “one a week” murders of men by their partners/wives/lovers.
