Descriptions:
Anthony Williams, a 70-year-old retired factory worker, has been cleared of murder after strangling his wife, Ruth, just five days into the UK’s first lockdown. Williams admitted to “snapping” and killing his wife of 46 years with a dressing gown cord following an argument at their South Wales home. The court heard that Williams suffered from severe depression and anxiety, which deteriorated due to pandemic restrictions. Experts testified that his mental state impaired his self-control. Although he admitted to the killing, the jury accepted his plea of manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility, citing his significant psychological distress.
