The brother of a woman killed by her husband in a suicide pact says he was in a similar situation with his own wife but ‘couldn’t take that last step’.
Peter Higson has voiced his support for Graham Mansfield, who walked free from court on Thursday after being convicted of the manslaughter. The 73-year-old killed his terminally ill wife Dyanne by slitting her throat before unsuccessfully trying to kill himself.
In an interview with the Manchester Evening News at his home in Hale , Mr Mansfield told how his wife was informed she had stage four lung cancer in October 2020, just weeks after they'd celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary.
