A "controlling" woman made her boyfriend's life an "utter misery" before she murdered him.
The Honorary Recorder of Liverpool Judge Andrew Menary KC said Emma Walsh had an "irrational, extreme jealousy" as he sentenced her to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 18 years for the murder of Gary Walsh today, Monday. She was found unanimously guilty by a jury last week, having stabbed the 36-year-old - from Prescot - in the heart at her home on Lavan Close in Everton of April 10 this year following a night in the pub.
The city's top judge also told the 31-year-old killer that she had a "desire to dominate his life" and "flew into a violent and furious rage" for little to no reason. These are Judge Menary's sentencing remarks in full.
