Martin Suter, the 68-year-old man who waited five hours at a cemetery to murder his ex-wife, Ann Blackwood, has been jailed for a minimum of 27 years and 230 days. You can’t imagine the sheer horror of planning a crime like this. Suter previously pleaded guilty to the murder of 71-year-old Ms. Blackwood, which took place in July 2023 at Crofton Cemetery in Stubbington, Hampshire.
The premeditation here is genuinely chilling. Suter, who is from Lee-on-the-Solent, waited for approximately five hours at the graveside, ensuring he was there when Ms. Blackwood arrived on her bicycle. The timing of the attack is particularly heartbreaking. It happened on July 24, which would have been the 36th birthday of their son, Christopher.
