"It still doesn't feel real that our mum is gone and the way we lost her has left a deep wound. I keep trying to understand how someone who was meant to protect her could do something so violent... Most of all I feel a huge sense of loss. Mum was the person who held our family together and her absence is felt every single day. Nothing feels the same without her."
"even in my own home. My anxiety is driven by a fear that there is someone that intends to harm me. I check every corner, close every door and open closed curtains to see if there is something or someone there."
A 42-year-old man stabbed his 44-year-old wife multiple times while she slept at their home in New Cross Gate on 13 April. He believed she had been unfaithful and had made her use the TfL app to prove her movements to and from church and work. He admitted manslaughter but denied murder; after a seven-day trial at Woolwich Crown Court he was convicted of murder and sentenced to life with a minimum term of 19 years. The victim was a mother of three. Victim impact statements describe profound grief and ongoing anxiety among the children. The defendant spoke through a Vietnamese interpreter.
