Graham Mansfield told how he feared he'd be sent to jail after being convicted of the manslaughter of Dyanne, his wife of more than 40 years.

Mrs Mansfield, 71, who had been diagnosed with terminal cancer, had asked her husband to kill her when her illness got 'too bad' as she didn't want to go into hospital.

He slit her throat before making serious attempts on his own life, which ultimately failed. After a four day trial at Manchester Crown Court, a jury found 73-year-old Mansfield not guilty of murder, but guilty of manslaughter.

They accepted he'd formed a genuine suicide pact with his wife, which she'd agreed to. The judge, Mr Justice Julian Goose, said the case was 'exceptional' and allowed Mansfield to walk free from court.
