A man who brutally murdered his partner with a claw hammer, despite being under a court order banning him from approaching her, has been sentenced to a minimum of 22 years in prison.
Joseph Greer attacked mother-of-three Samantha Lee at a property in Aberdeen between 1 and 4 January this year. The High Court in Dundee heard that Lee sustained "catastrophic" head injuries, which proved fatal. Her body was discovered in the kitchen of the Bedford Road property on 4 January after an acquaintance of the couple alerted police.
