" Woman murders husband and commits sex act on his corpse" [READ MORE]

A crazed newlywed who murdered her husband with a kitchen knife told cops she had sex with him after he had been fatally wounded. Sharon Edwards, described as a violent bully has been jailed for life for the horrific killing of her husband David Edwards. She had denied the killing, telling police her husband had walked onto the knife, which she had taken from him during an argument.

She then claimed the couple then went to bed where she performed a sex act on him before leaving him to sleep. Edwards said she found him dead in bed seven hours later. Edwards knifed her husband just months after they returned from their wedding in Las Vegas.

During her trial Manchester Crown Court heard she had attacked her husband several times in heated rows. David even had to wear make-up over a black eye and fat lip on his wedding day to hide the abuse. “You have a violent and bullying nature,” presiding judge William Davis said.

“This deadly attack with a deadly weapon was the culmination of long term bullying by you of this highly respected member of the community. “Your bullying of him robbed people of a decent man who was a highly valued member of the community.”

Speaking on behalf of the British prosecution service, Rob Jensen said the case serves to highlight that men can be victims of domestic abuse too.

“Domestic abuse can come in all sorts of guises and this case is another in the sad catalogue of violent repressive relationships that seem to rob the victim of their power or ability to stop the violence.”
