Woman facing jail after fatal stabbing

A woman is facing years in jail after she was convicted of stabbing a grandmother-to-be to death in front of her pregnant daughter.

Siobhan Russell, 30, from Dundee, attacked Marie Low in the city’s Ballantrae Terrace following a row between the pair two days earlier.

She was accused of murdering Miss Low but a jury convicted her of the lesser charge of culpable homicide.

A trial at the High Court in Aberdeen heard from Miss Low’s then-pregnant daughter,jamie-leelow,whobroke down in tears as she told of the moment Russell stabbed her mother to death in front of her.

She said: “Siobhan came out and she had a knife in her hand - she was shouting and 0 Siobhan Russell attacked Marie Low after a row screaming. I tried to get in the middle and told Siobhan to stop because I was pregnant. They were fighting and I was screaming for help.

“I watched her stab my mum.” Judge Lord Burns deferred sentence until January for social work background reports and remanded Russell in custody.
