Man brutally murdered partner of 32 years after suspecting she was having an affair

A man who brutally murdered his partner of 32 years after wrongly believing she was being unfaithful has been jailed for life. Colin John Milburn, 52, bludgeoned Buddug Jones to death at her home in Maes Gwelfor in Rhydwyn, near Holyhead, on April 22 last year.

The prosecution claimed Milburn was "fixated" with the idea that Ms Jones, 48, was having an affair. When she ended their three-decade relationship, he waited for her to be alone in her house in a cul-de-sac and killed her in what was described as a "cowardly and brutal attack".

A pathologist said the most likely weapon used in the attack was a hammer. She died of catastrophic head injuries.
