Murder accused ‘beat and humiliated husband’

A “bullying” wife made her new husband lie about injuries she inflicted on him, and thought only of “number one” after stabbing him through the heart, a court has heard.

Sharon Edwards 42, claimed she was a “loving wife” and denied murdering her solicitor husband David using a kitchen knife, two months to the day after their Las Vegas wedding.

Mr Edwards, 51, was found dead in bed at their home in Chorley, Lancashire, on August 23 last year, having sustained an 8cm deep wound to the chest.
