Father stabbed estranged wife to death after she changed her Facebook status to 'single'
A father stabbed his estranged wife to death in a 'frenzied attack' after discovering she had changed her Facebook status to 'single'.
Edward Richardson, 41, was high on a cocktail of cocaine and alcohol when he smashed his way into her parents' home and used a carving knife to kill 26-year-old Sarah Richardson as she lay in bed.
The carpenter stabbed his wife with such force he shattered her ribs. She also suffered puncture wounds to her liver and a slashed aorta.
Richardson was yesterday jailed for life after a jury took less than three hours to convict him of murder at Stafford Crown Court.
