Peter Maher bound and then murdered mother-of-three Jeanna in their Drumchapel home in 2018.
His brother Richard also went into the room and pulled back the bed covers before letting out a "gasp" or "scream" upon finding his mum lying there.He told jurors she was covered in blood with and had serious injuries to her skull.He believed Mrs Maher's hands were bound with a neck tie and possibly a wire for her feet.
He immediately dialled 999 and was told to try CPR, but he told prosecutors it would not have had any effect.He stated he "did not know who was responsible" and "did not know anyone that would harm his wife".In a post-mortem report, Dr Turner noted her head injury was "indicative of multiple blows with a heavy blunt object... at least 11 to the scalp alone, but probably many more.
Speaking after the verdict on Tuesday, Det Supt Scott McCallum, from Police Scotland's major investigation team, said: "This was a brutal attack on a woman who should have been safe in her own home and Peter Maher will now have to face the consequences for his actions." Maher first appeared in court in 2018, but the following year he was assessed as unfit to stand trial.The case was halted again after Maher sacked his then lawyers. The latest trial began in late January.
