Mum diagnosed with cancer two days after Emma Walsh murdered her son

A mum was diagnosed with cancer two days after her son was murdered.

Sandra Morgan received the devastating blow only 48 hours after her world was shattered when one of her six children, Gary, was stabbed in the heart and killed aged 36 by his girlfriend Emma Walsh at her home on Lavan Close in Everton. The 31-year-old killer was yesterday jailed for life with a minimum term of 18 years after a jury unanimously convicted her of murder.

Statements were read out on behalf of the victim's family, from Prescot, during her sentencing hearing. His dad Jimmy described how his son "changed before his eyes" and became a "shadow of his former self" as he was subjected to regular domestic assaults.
