A mum-of-three who was brutally murdered at the hands of her husband has today been described as a "much loved mother" and "popular" member of the community.
Supermarket worker Jeanna Maher was killed by husband Peter, 61, at her home in Dewar Drive, Drumchapel on Wednesday, September 26 2018.
Maher was convicted of murder today after he attacked his wife of around 30 years in one of the most horrific ways - delivering at least 11 blows with a hammer.

The High Court in Glasgow heard that Jeanna, 51, held down three different jobs to provide for her family while her layabout husband stayed at home. The popular mum was known as "Mrs Asda" for the amount of hours she put in at the branch in Bearsden.
He now faces a life sentence for his violent crimes and will have to face "the consequences of his actions", the police said.
Detective Superintendent Scott McCallum, from Police Scotland’s Major Investigation Team, said: “Jeanna was a much loved mother to her three sons and her extended family.
“She was an incredibly popular member of the community, with many friends.
“It has been a very difficult time for all of them, and although today's verdict won't change what happened, I hope this outcome will help bring Jeanna’s family some closure.
“This was a brutal attack on a woman who should have been safe in her own home and Peter Maher will now have to face the consequences for his actions.
“Domestic crime, in all its forms, remains one of Police Scotland’s top priorities.
“If you are experiencing abuse, I would encourage you to contact police who can provide reassurance and support about those next steps.”
