Mercy for husband who helped wife’s suicide

A DEVOTED husband who helped his wife commit suicide was picking up the pieces of his life last night after being shown mercy by a British judge.

David March, 58, walked free from London’s Old Bailey after receiving a nine-month suspended sentence for assisting her death.

Gillian March, 59, took pills and tied a plastic bag over her head in September, last year, at the couple’s home in Caterham, Surrey.
