Devon dog breeder who killed wife jailed for murder

The court heard the couple had been childhood sweethearts since they met in Somerset when they were 15 and 16, sharing a love of dogs and horses.

She went on to inherit her dog breeding business from her parents, the jury was told.

Parsons told the court his wife wanted to die because she had lost interest in life and become disillusioned with the dog-breeding world.

However, computer evidence showed she had emailed the Kennel Club about renewing her membership hours before she was killed.

Parsons claimed to have taken an overdose of tablets in his suicide attempt but the court heard there was no trace of them in a blood test.

He told the court: “I promised to go with her and I let her down. I have been a failure.

“I did not achieve my side of it.”

He was given a life sentence with a minimum term of 13 years.
