Christopher O'Reilly killed partner Karen Gallagher over baby row

A man who killed his partner after a row about holding a baby has been jailed for seven-and-a-half years.

Christopher O'Reilly, 48, stabbed 31-year-ol Karen Gallagher in the heart at the flat they shared in Thornliebank, East Renfrewshire, in November 2010.

He was charged with murder but pleaded guilty to the reduced charge of culpable homicide on the grounds of diminished responsibility. O'Reilly will also be supervised for four-and-a-half years on his release.
