A hockey coach who stabbed his interior designer wife six times and claimed she had taken her own life has been jailed for at least 21 years for her murder.
Mohamed Samak, 43, told a jury his wife Joanne Samak, 49, had stabbed herself in the chest and stomach after he woke up at around 3am on July 1 last year at their home in Chestnut Spinney, Droitwich Spa, but was found guilty of murder on Wednesday after a retrial.
