Man Kills Wife For Mocking 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 was drunk and plunged a knife into his wife’s back four times.

Armed police were called to the family home where they found Clinton had slashed his wrists and neck in a ‘serious attempt’ to kill himself.  There was blood all over the house, including splattered on a set of papers marked ‘ending a marriage’. He, however, survived.

Clinton, who admits manslaughter but denies murder, told detectives he had killed his wife after he just ‘lost it’. He told police his wife was pushing him and goading him, asking who would look after him with his bed-wetting and small manhood.
