Man kills his ex-wife at divorce party

A 63-YEAR-OLD man stabbed his ex-wife to death on the day she was holding a divorce party, a court heard yesterday.

Brian Jones, of Marske, East Cleveland, denies murdering Katrina Jones, 34, last November, claiming he was provoked by her celebration and that he had begged her not to hold it.

Teesside Crown Court was told banners were put up outside the former matrimonial home declaring “The Party’s Here” and “Congratulations”.
