Husband 'stabbed his wife of 24 years to death after she taunted him about the size of his manhood'

A man inflicted multiple fatal stab wounds on his wife after she taunted him about this size of his manhood, a court heard. John Clinton, 52, brutally attacked Paula Clinton, his partner of 24 years, before slashing his own throat in a bid to end his life. Liverpool Crown Court heard Mrs Clinton became disgruntled about her husband's heavy drinking and - on the day she was killed - he arrived home from the pub to find her discussing their prospective divorce over the phone. Clinton, who had drunk 10 pints, plunged a knife into his wife's back four times during a row at their home in Aintree, Liverpool, on November 28 last year.

Jurors heard Clinton, a partner in a company that makes concrete products, would regularly stop at the pub on his way home. On the day she died Mrs Clinton had been to visit the Citizens' Advice Bureau to discuss dividing the couple's assets. She was on the phone to one of their advisers when Clinton came home drunk. The mother-of-two, who worked at the Giro social club in Bootle for 30 years, was seen staggering from the family home and down the street bleeding heavily before collapsing. She had multiple stab wounds to her body, hands and her left eye and died from shock and blood loss before paramedics arrived.
