The family of a mum brutally murdered by her ex-husband are hoping to introduce a new law that prevents killers having a say in their children's lives.
Jade Ward, who should have been turning 28 next week, was stabbed and strangled by evil Russell Marsh in August of last year, as their young children slept in the next room. After carrying out his horrific attack, Marsh then hid the mum-of-four's body under a pile of clothes for the police to find at her home.
Despite being jailed for life with a minimum of 25 years, Marsh has been having a say in how Jade's four sons are brought up. The 29-year-old has asked to see the boys' school reports and attendance notes. Jade's mum Karen Robinson has also been told by social workers that if the kids' family want to take them on holiday, Marsh would have to consulted first. He can also make decisions over their medical treatment.
