A 54-year-old woman identified as Teresa Hanson has been jailed for life for murder after stabbing her husband of 34 years through the heart and going back to chopping onions has been jailed for life for his murder.
Teresa Hanson who was found
guilty of murder at Hull Crown Court after jurors deliberated for less than
three hours and is expected to serve a minimum of nine years behind bars for
killing her 54-year-old husband, Paul Hanson, reportedly drove a 2cm wide blade
into his torso and fatally damaged his heart at their family home during a row,
three days after Christmas.
At the murder trial, she said
she just wanted him to go away after he began shouting in her face and calling
her a “f****** bitch” as she prepared a Mediterranean Tart for their dinner.
Prosecutors alleged just after
7pm on December 28, she shoved the knife into Paul’s heart, severing his
largest artery, and leaving blood “spurting out” of his body before he
collapsed.
Lady jailed for murder after
stabbing her husband of 34 years through heart and continuing with dinner.
At around 7.05pm, Mrs Hanson
phoned an ambulance where she told the call handler she’d stabbed her husband
“out of anger” after “having a row”. She then went on to call the police and
said that she had stabbed Paul after he came into the kitchen and told her to
“f*** off” and called her a “b****”.
The woman claimed that she had
no idea that her husband Paul was fatally injured, even though the knife would
have been contaminated with "fatty deposits" and other material from
his badly wounded body, the court. She claimed that she did not hear one shout,
groan, cry or moan from him. She was completely unaware that he had left a
trail of blood and had collapsed in the dining room, Hull Crown Court heard.
She even went back to chopping onions with the same knife.
During the police interview
over the murder incident which took place at West Cowick, near Goole, East
Yorkshire, Mrs Hanson declined to answer questions and merely gave a
pre-prepared statement. She claimed that her husband walked into the knife
after she turned round while holding it, but a pathologist claimed that this
was "highly unlikely". Mrs Hanson claimed that the stabbing was an
accident and that she did not intend to kill or seriously injure him.
When asked if the stabbing was
just a "terrible accident" and her husband was supposedly “the love
of your life” during three police interviews, she had repeatedly answered, “No
comment”. She claimed that she had sometimes looked at the representative to
ask if she should say something in answer to questions, but she was advised to
say, "No comment".
