Jury at Bristol crown court finds retired accountant guilty of murdering ex-soldier David Jackson
A retired accountant has been jailed for at least 18 years after being convicted of murdering her husband, a former army lieutenant colonel whom she accused of decades of emotional and physical abuse.
Penelope Jackson, 66, was found guilty at Bristol crown court of the murder of David Jackson, 78, whom she stabbed three times at their home in Somerset before telling a 999 operator: “I thought I’d get his heart but he hasn’t got one.”
