Charles Graham, 78, who k!lled his wife after suffering years of abuse at her hands has been jailed for three years.

He strangled his wife of nearly 50 years, Davinia, 67, in their home in Cheltenham after she threatened to stab him. The retired paramedic snapped and k!lled her before phoning police to admit what he had done.

Bristol Crown Court heard Mrs Graham had suffered with mental health problems for many years and had been abusive to her husband and family. Adam Vaitilingam KC, prosecuting, said Mrs Graham had been admitted to hospital on August 22, 2024, after taking an overdose.

On August 30 doctors determined she was medically fit for discharge, and she was collected by her husband.

It was better for the husband to divorce his wife rather than killing her who was also not in the right state of mind. Thankful he will only serve 3 years in jail.

No matter what, taking a life is not an excuse nor is it the best option. People are really going through a lot though.

That criminal was also a victim of his wife's brutality yet killing is indeed not the solution to escape such brutality. It's better if he left and never returned to his mentally sick wife.

That's the way to go simple. Just try to divorce your wife rather than killing her. That makes you a beast

He might have feed up, but That was done already so he must served his crime. Hoping he was also remorseful. He's old but lacks patience and right decision.

 

[Augusta]

Yes whatever the abuse he has no right to kill her. if you are experiencing abuse the best bet is to walk away

 

[Starmix]

At least he will serve only three years in jail. The court might have found reasons for his short sentence. He might have submitted proof of abuse by his wife.

 

[Augusta]

Well, even if he suffered abuse he should have walked away from the marriage than killing another human being

 

[Starmix]

The husband is already old and he owns the house, so there is no reason for him to leave. The best option is to report the abuse of his wife to her family or relatives and return her to them.

No one has any right to kill anyone. The reasonable option is just to walk away. Why take a life you can't create?

My point exactly you are cheated upon. Fine and good just walk away and don't kill anyone
