A heartbroken mum who learned her son had been murdered was dealt another devastating blow when she found out she had cancer 48 hours later. Sandra Morgan was left inconsolable when Gary Morgan, 36, one of her six children, was stabbed in the heart by his girlfriend Emma Walsh.
Ms Walsh, 31, killed Gary Morgan at her home in Everton following a night in the pub, on April 10 this year. She was jailed for life with a minimum term of 18 years after a jury unanimously convicted her of murder.
Father Jimmy Morgan spoke about how his son "changed before his eyes", becoming a "shadow of his former self" owing to regular domestic assaults he was subjected to at the hands of Ms Walsh. As reported by the LiverpoolECHO, statements were read out on behalf of the victim's family from Prescot, during Ms Walsh's sentencing hearing.
