Wife murdered husband in row

A WOMAN is facing life in jail for the murder of her husband after he did not ‘back her up’ in an argument.

Lorna Middleton stabbed William Middleton in the heart at their flat in Clydebank, Dunbartonshire.

Middleton was furious after claiming her husband had not backed her in a row she had with a man in June 2020.

Mr Middleton, 3 , was found dead lying in a pool of blood by police later that night with two knives nearby.

His wife later remarked to officers: ‘Revenge is a dish best served cold.’

Middleton, a mother of four, was convicted of murder yesterday at the High Court in Glasgow.

The 36-year-old had lodged a special defence of self-defence.

Lord Clark remanded her in custody and deferred the case until next month when she will discover the minimum time she will spend behind bars.
