Daryl Berman, 72, has been sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 12 years after being convicted of killing her husband, David Berman, 84, in March last year. The Manchester woman initially convinced police that her husband, who had dementia, had accidentally fallen onto a kitchen knife. But as investigators examined the circumstances surrounding his death, Daryl’s account began to unravel.
According to the BBC, the couple had been married for 27 years, and the court found that Daryl had not set out to kill her husband. The judge said, “This was a domestic incident against a background of a decades-long happy marriage.” What the court did conclude, however, was that she deliberately tried to conceal her responsibility after the stabbing.
