A husband who horrifically murdered his wife with a hammer received a life sentence. Peter Maher delivered at least 11 blows to Jeanna Maher at their home in Drumchapel, Glasgow on September 26 2018.
Jurors heard how two of their sons discovered the 51-year-old's trussed-up body in her bedroom. Supermarket worker Jeanna had previously suffered at the 61 year-old husband's violent hands.
Relatives and colleagues had pleaded with her to leave Maher, but the mum of three did not want to break up the family home. Maher was convicted on Tuesday of murder following a trial at the High Court in Glasgow. He had denied the killing insisting not to know who the culprit was.
