A husband who killed his wife in an 'act of love' as she battled terminal cancer has called for a change in the law to allow euthanasia to be legalised. Graham Mansfield, 73, walked free from court after being convicted of the manslaughter of his 71-year-old wife Dyanne.
He slit her throat then tried to kill himself after the married couple of more than 40 years agreed a suicide pact. Mrs Mansfield had been diagnosed with stage four lung cancer and had weeks to live in March last year.
The couple agreed that they would carry out the pact in the garden of their home in Canterbury Road, Hale. Mansfield killed his wife but his attempts on his own life proved unsuccessful.
