In Southport, a nurse has been convicted of murdering his wife.
Brent Mott, who is 32 years old, claimed that he acted in self-defense during the incident involving his wife, Kate, which occurred amidst a fierce argument related to their divorce.
Court proceedings revealed that he strangled her with her pyjama top and then moved her into their family car.
