A man stopped himself from killing his mum's murderer in "revenge" after he heard her voice telling him not to.
Karen Wheeler was battered to death with a lamp by her husband Mark at their flat in Birkenhead earlier this year. He was jailed for life with a minimum term of 15 years and 10 months yesterday, Friday.
During the 52-year-old's sentencing, the victim's son David Bradley described the "loss, pain and anger" following his mother's death. The pair "spoke every day on the phone or text" and he last saw Ms Wheeler while walking his dog three days before she was killed.
