Stuart Robertson strangled wife Dawn to death, placed crucifix in her lifeless hands and handed himself in
A pensioner who strangled his wife to death then went to Costa Coffee for a cup of tea has been cleared of murder.
He had previously admitted the lesser charge of manslaughter and will be sentenced tomorrow, Thursday. The Honorary Recorder of Liverpool Judge Andrew Menary, who presided over the trial, told him that he viewed his actions as a "loss of control" and added: "Given the nature of the incident and all of the other evidence, it seems that this is an appropriate basis on which to sentence.
Wearing a change of clothing, the dark garments he had been seen wearing earlier now replaced by a fluorescent jacket and a bucket hat, he disembarked the service at 3.20pm near to Church Square Shopping Centre then "paused for a cup of tea" at a branch of Costa Coffee. Shortly before 3.45pm, he entered St Helens Police Station and confessed that he had "snapped" and strangled his wife to death after she had been abusive to and shouted at him.
"The ambulance crew arrived and confirmed that she was dead. She was in the living room, lying on the floor on her back covered with a blanket with her hands across her chest and the crucifix in her hands."
