A woman who murdered her "drinking partner" by beating him with a bat and pushing him down a flight of stairs has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 18 years.
Cheryl O'Callaghan was unanimously found guilty of the murder of Adrian Swift by a jury at Liverpool Crown Court in December. The 57-year-old victim told a 999 call that he had been "battered s***less" at their home on Bishopsgate Street in Wavertree before his death.
His killer appeared back before the court this afternoon, Friday, via video link to HMP Styal to be sentenced. She wiped away tears with a tissue as she was handed the life imprisonment.
