A "much loved" mum is the first of three people murdered in the same week to get justice.
Families across Merseyside were torn apart in May when two women and one man were found dead in their homes in separate incidents. Yesterday (Friday, October 28) saw the first of those victims get justice as Mark Wheeler, 51, was sentenced for murdering his wife, Karen Wheeler, 62, in their Birkenhead flat.
His brutal attack, which saw Ms Wheeler being hit over the head with a lamp as she slept, occurred after Wheeler kept his money troubles secret. When threatened with bailiffs he murdered the "much-loved mother".
