A South African-born estate agent has been sentenced to life in prison by a UK court after being found guilty of murdering his wife in December last year, the Daily Mailreports.
David Clark, a 49-year-old living in Worcestershire confessed to fatally stabbing his 44-year-old wife, Melanie, in an emotional call to emergency services on New Year’s Eve and, on Thursday, he was given a minimum sentence of 15 years behind bars, after the jury rejected his claim that he lost control and had no recollection of his actions.
It was established that Clark had taken part in a drinking game not long before lashing out at Melanie, stabbing her in the chest.
