A heavy metal fan who frogmarched his wife into a loch and held her head under the water as she fought for her life has been jailed for four years. Catriona Watson-Brown knew something bad was going to happen to her because her husband always played heavy metal music when he was angry.
Former BBC surveyor Paul Brown was blasting out loud rock music in his workshop, shortly before summoning his wife with a single finger to the banks of Loch Tummel. Mrs Watson-Brown, who met her husband while working in publications at the BBC, thought she was going to die during the horror attack at the beauty spot.
Brown, now an estate worker and heating engineer, admitted endangering his asthmatic wife's life by holding her under the surface of the loch. Perth Sheriff Court was told that Brown was a "Jekyll and Hyde" character who would subject his wife to silent moods for days at a time.
