Brother of man stabbed to death by wife in bubble and squeak row says 'he deserved it'

The brother of a man stabbed to death by his own wife in retaliation for years of abuse has come out in her defence, saying he 'deserved' his murder.

Penelope Jackson killed husband David, 78, in February 2021, before telling a 999 operator she'd wanted to stab him through the heart "but he doesn't have one".

Jackson, 66, was jailed for life in October of that year for killing her ex-lieutenant husband following a row that erupted over a dinner of bubble and squeak.
