A judge has praised the family of murdered Jade Ward after they had to endure listening to her killer's "falsehoods and slurs" during court proceedings.
Russell Norman James Marsh, of Shotton, was found guilty on Wednesday of murdering his estranged wife Jade Marsh, also known as Jade Ward, in the summer of 2021. The mum of his four children w as slashed, stabbed and strangled in her own bed in the box room of her home - just yards away from where their children slept.
Jurors heard during the trial at Mold Crown Court her mutilated body was later buried under a pile of clothes, reports NorthWalesLive. Marsh accepted that his unlawful actions directly resulted in Ms Ward's death by asphyxiation - admitting to police that he'd 'done something terrible' - but maintained he was innocent of her murder.
