Man 'stood in front of train after stabbing wife'

A father of two stood in front of a speeding train after stabbing and asphyxiating his wife as she prepared to end their relationship, an inquest heard today.

Ambrose Armstrong, 37, held up his slit wrists just before he was hit at a level crossing last November – less than 24 hours after the murder in the ferry port of Larne, Co Antrim.
