UK: Ex-lecturer stabs nagging partner to death after row over inheritance
19th January 2011
Ronald Edwards, 65, attacked Sylvia Rowley-Bailey, 66, after she “wickedly” wished his 88-year-old mother dead so he could inherit the money and buy her share of their £310,000 bungalow to enable her to leave him, he claimed.
Edwards, who met his partner on an internet dating site, was described as a non-violent and unflappable person who had suffered years of aggressive, berating and belittling behaviour.
This is God telling you not to date people you meet over the internet.
The victim’s two estranged children, who had not seen their mother for 23 years, gave statements for the defence.
Whoa.
