There is nothing to justify this murder, but I believe that lawyer who advised to wife to live in this man's house to be intitled for half of it after divorce, is as much responsible for this woman's death. If you want to keep your belongings after divorce, file a marriage agreement. These two weren't compatible partners at the start, one being outgoing and another house person, it is never going to work out. One will suffer and it will lead to depression, which will escalate both to suffer. This scenario was predictable... Where was the loving friends and family to advise to move out instead to incourage her to get this man down by taking his house? He warned agencies about his state of mind, it wasn't taken seriously, why? Instead he was drugged with more substances... Seriously? They thought it will solve the problem by putting depressed person under more effective influencer? When everybody involved will start to take responsibility for their actions that's when we will start to live in peace. Not greed for money, but understanding and accepting differences in others will grow love to each other. I believe this man didn't feel loved and appreciated, that's why he didn't care to loose everything he had at the end.

They weren’t forced to. They were advised by their lawyers and they chose to follow their advice. I’m American. I recall when I left my ex husband after a violent fight I just left and barely had a few outfits with me. I truly feared for my life and knew he would kill me if I stayed. It was so hard to get any of my possessions back. I had no rights. It was crazy. I was really bitter about having to start over after my divorce, not even having a kitchen towel to my name. But time has allowed me to see that it was the best decision to just run away when I still had the chance. But it was hard. Pride and principle tends to take priority for some. Fortunately for me I was so fearful of my ex that I knew better than to stay around just to prove out the “possession is 9/10ths of the law” saying.

I worry that the anti depressants he had been taking may have had a detrimental affect on his mental health. Many can and do cause self harm ideation and or homicidal thoughts. Ppl are not warned about this risk before taking them then doses continue to increase. Then if something like this happens the correlation is dismissed

I thought the same thing. His doctor sounds like an idiot. It’s a better option to wean off the antidepressant that isn’t working and then try a different one. Don’t give someone MORE of a drug that’s not working.

That Operator was the bomb! Great Job. Sad story. Too bad David had to win in his mind.

A great loss for her loving and tragically bereaved family. Rip Linda 💔

I love the way you present these. No fluff, no repeating ...just the story. Thank you.

The fact that he told a number of persons and noone thought to commit this guy or separate the couple is just horrifying 😢

He should've NEVER married her if she said "no" to the prenup, if he didn't want her to have his shit. People are always too afraid they'll lose the other person if they bring that up, but if the person who opposes it doesn't like it, they can KICK ROCKS, because that just tells you where their mind is.

So very true.

Definitely not a good idea to be under the same roof going thru a divorce... emotions run high, grudges, pain etc people need their space...plus i saw the movie war of the roses lol that looked like it would really suck...and even then linda felt trapped...i mean how crazy does a man have to be as to take a back up knife up stairs...smh.. pure psycho

How many times an announcement of divorce results in death of a spouse is surprising....💥

This man had a lot of time on his hands to think and feel sorry for himself. The problem started within him and grew. A cautionary tale for sure!

How dare he want a manslaughter charge!! This is murder!! Sorry only for himself!!

I can’t believe the police didn’t section him. Even if she declined a risk assessment that’s a high risk situation. She should have been referred to MARAC. I’m horrified.

My husband was in hospital for months after a cardiac event and needed a valve replacement. I visited him twice per day, ever day until the operation, bringing him things he wanted or needed. I visited him every day he was in the psych ward for alcohol induced meltdowns. I paid for everything in our relationship/marriage.. equipment for his studio, laptops, holidays, etc.. Still wasn't good enough, and last year he threatened to cut my head off during another tantrum. That was the final straw. Fortunately I had received a nice inheritance from my parents months before, so I left without telling him. I packed a bag, took my dog, and went to stay on an island for four months. Now waiting for the papers to get my dog back to my home country. They won't change. Can't change. They're narcissistic bullies. Best way to deal with them is to leave and go no contact, and do not contact any of their family or friends. You will never get closure from a Cluster B personality type. You give yourself closure by leaving them and not contacting them. If you must contact, do it via a lawyer. You must leave them. Make sure it is you that has the power. They are real-life demons👹👹👹

Who you apparently were attracted to for years in some form, paid for for years, and rationalised his behavior for years. This is sad, but common - I'm not trying to judge here, but to make aware. Was he hot, or high status, or both in your mind? Again, not judging, but these are risk factors. Hybristophilia is seldom talked about, but comes up often in these kinds of stories. I'm glad you're safe, and thank god you got out as you did. But please learn not to get in that setup again in the first place. Therapy, self work etc. for understanding what happened, and yourself as necessary, is hopefully available. Best to you.

Thank you I had not heard of this case before what a tragic story.

She certainly did not deserve what happened to her. However, both of them were hell-bent on staying in the home so that the other one wouldn't end up with it. In the end, she's deceased, and he's in prison for the rest of his life, so neither of them ended up with the house. If someone threatened to kill me that many times to that many people, I would have taken the officer's offer to go to a safe house. Her thinking that it was just his way of tricking her into leaving the house was a life ending gamble. Sadly, it's too late now. 😢 No possession is worth giving up your life for. Quite honestly, they weren't a very good match from the very beginning as he was quiet and withdrawn, and she was gregarious and outgoing. It's essentially like trying to mix oil and water it will never work. I hope that she rests in peace and that her children, grandchildren, other family and friends have have gained some sort of comfort knowing that he will never get out of prison until he leaves in a pine box.

You could try to understand instead of staying ignorant and judging. There are several reasons, financial ones being an example.

I see based on some comments people still find it hard to find empathy for women who were murdered by spouses or ex spouses. It’s outrageous how quickly ppl will pass judgment on these women.

This is horrifying! I cannot imagine what Linda ever saw in this greedy narcissist who doesn’t deserve to enjoy the rest of his life being taken care of in prison! My heart goes out to Linda’s family and friends!

I know a man who is doing that right now. The wife doesn’t work full time so he has always paid all the bills. She leaves all the lights and all the electric and gas appliances on, and all the water taps running, 24/7, to get the bills as high as possible, because she knows they are all in his name.

I think the judge summed him up perfectly.

His first two wives were lucky

You are an excellent reporter

In a contentious dovorce. Why tf would u stay living together?!? Greed or control are the only reasons I can think of if one has somewhere else to go. She had 2 grown kids she was close with... why not stay there? Especially after this man was telling people he was going to harm her. He literally asked for help 🤦🏻‍♀️

Great case coverage

"Diminished capacity" or not, this murder was completely premeditated. Not only did he make comments about stabbing her, he took the 2 knives upstairs with him when he went to "talk" to her. She must have been so terrified, it's so awful. He should NEVER be let out of prison.

Thanks TC for this new case … iv not heard of this one before. Great narration as always!

Pre-nuptual agreements are not binding in the UK. What a shame she stayed after the marriage had irrevocably broken down and divorce proceedings had begun - that was a tall order. I feel she would still have been entitled to a settlement even if she'd moved out.

Yes, I understand spouses oftentimes murder one another, but when people reach their 70s and that is the first thought that comes to their mind?!? I mean how much longer do they think they have to live, and wouldn't they want to live their life as a free person, trying to enjoy life?!? Mind boggling!
