Corbett family deny abuse allegations as US stepmother prepares to appeal custody ruling

A sibling of Jason Corbett has angrily rejected claims that his deceased brother was "physically and emotionally abusive" towards his wife Molly Martens.

John Corbett said he believed supporters of Ms Martens - who is locked in a bitter dispute with the Corbetts over custody of her stepchildren - have tried to blacken his brother's name in order to help Ms Martens’ case.
