'He is killing me': Dinner lady's desperate screams as husband stabbed her 10 times in the street in horror attack

A man who stabbed his wife 10 times - including to her head - in the middle of the street has been jailed.

Hugh Wedderburn had split from his wife a fortnight earlier after years of abuse. Following their split, however, he decided that 'if he couldn't have her, then nobody would', a court heard.

Wedderburn attacked his wife, a dinner lady, as she walked to work, stabbing her to her chest and head in front of horrified onlookers as she screamed to them 'he is killing me'. Miraculously, his wife survived the attack but she has been left with permanent scars.
