John Clinton admits manslaughter but denies murdering his wife Paula [MERSEYSIDE POLICE]    

 

According to the Daily Star. John Clinton killed his wife Paula by plunging a kitchen knife into her back four times.

The 52-year-old then tried to cut his own throat, following a row at their home in Aintree, Liverpool, a jury was told.

Mrs Clinton, 48, ran out onto Felstead Avenue to get help but died from multiple wounds to her body, hands and left eye before an ambulance arrived on November 28 last year.

Clinton has admitted manslaughter, but denies murdering his wife of 24 years.

He claims he "just lost it" after his wife had pushed him over the edge by "galling him" about his bed-wetting and small manhood.

Armed police were called to the family home where they found Clinton had slashed his wrists and neck in a "serious attempt" to kill himself.

Officers found blood all over the house, including on a set of papers marked "ending a marriage".

Ian Unsworth QC, told Liverpool Crown Court: "It is apparent that the marriage was in some difficulties in the days leading up to her death and on the day itself.

"Paula was seeking advice as to divorce and the financial arrangements which would follow.

"According to things she said to others, the reason she sought a divorce arose largely out of the defendant's drinking."

“John Clinton claims he "just lost it" after his wife Paula had pushed him over the edge by "galling him" about his bed-wetting and small manhood.”

The court heard how Clinton often visited the Grapes pub in Thornton on his way home from work.

On the night Mrs Clinton died, he had drunk 10 pints at his local.

Earlier than day, the mum-of-two had been to visit the Citizens' Advice Bureau over dividing the couple's assets.

Clinton told police he stabbed her while holding his hand over her mouth.

He claims she had asked him who would look after him with his bed-wetting and small manhood.

But, he added he wasn't trying to justify his actions.

Mr Unsworth said Clinton had threatened his wife with a knife a few weeks before her death

He said Clinton became "a bully and a dangerous one at that" after he had been drinking.

He added: "It is clear from what he has said that he does seek to justify his actions, at least in part, by painting a picture of his wife and her conduct which is not a true picture."

The trial, which continues, will determine if Clinton is guilty of murder or manslaughter.
