Husband, 83, killed wife before taking own life after they made plans to 'go together'

A husband killed his wife of over 60 years before taking his own life as they struggled with health and made plans to “go together”, an inquest has heard.

The bodies of Alexander and Helen Lawrie, both 83, were found in the conservatory of their home in the seaside town of Cromer, Norfolk, in April last year.

The couple had met in their teens and had three sons together, but the inquest heard that Mrs Lawrie's health had been deteriorating in recent years.
