The screams of a "kind" and "caring" mum-of-four were heard by her children before she was murdered.
Jade Ward, 27, died at the hands of her estranged husband Russell Marsh who stabbed, slashed and strangled her just yards away from their sleeping children. Jade's body was found under a pile of clothes in a room sealed shut with a dressing gown cord at her mum Karen Robinson's home in Shotton, Flintshire, on Thursday, August 26 last year.
Marsh, who worked in Ellesmere Port, was sentenced to life in prison in April and will serve at least 25 years behind bars. Despite being locked up for killing their mum, Marsh still holds his parental responsibility over the four boys, who cannot be named for legal reasons.
