The family of Sally Turner say they have been robbed of a mother and grandmother and condemned the "barbarity and callous actions" of husband, following the conclusion of his trial.
Harry Turner, 54, was found guilty of murder at Teesside Crown Court today (Tuesday) after he stabbed her 78 times. He pleaded not guilty to murder but admitted manslaughter on the grounds of loss of control, which the Crown did not accept.
A jury found Turner guilty of murder and he will now serve a minimum of 17 years in prison. Grandmother Sally was found dead with multiple stab wounds by her daughter with Mr Turner's wedding ring lying nearby.
