Wife in court on husband stab charge

A MOTHER of four appeared in court yesterday accused of murdering her husband.

Louise Anderson, 36, is alleged to have stabbed taxi driver Douglas Anderson, 39, using a knife or similar weapon.

He was found at their home in the Muirton area of Perth on Saturday morning.

A petition, heard in private at Perth Sheriff Court, alleges that Anderson struck him on the leg with a weapon and killed him.

She is also accused of attacking his sister, Bernadette Anderson, in Perth’s Grill Bar the previous day by jumping on her.

Anderson is further alleged to have attacked and injured Fay McKenzie in the same pub by pulling her to the ground and biting her.

She made no plea and the case was continued for examination by Sheriff William Wood. Anderson was remanded in custody.
