Factory worker handed life sentence for murdering ex-wife as children slept in next room

A factory worker has been handed a life sentence for murdering his ex-wife just metres from where their children slept.

Russell Norman James Marsh, of Shotton, Flintshire, was last week found guilty of murdering the mother of his four children Jade Marsh - also known as Jade Ward - last summer.

Jurors heard during the Mold Crown Court trial how Ms Ward was slashed, stabbed and strangled in her own bed in the box room of her Shotton home in Wales. The 27-year-old's mutilated body was later buried under a pile of clothes.
