To friends, David and Penelope Jackson were like most other retired couples living in the West Country.
They had a good life: a nice home, an active social life and a penchant for foreign cruises.
But in February 2021, Penelope killed her husband after a birthday celebration.
She then called 999 saying ‘I stabbed him once, then he said I wouldn’t do it again so I did it twice more.’
Had she been suffering in silence for years at the hands of a silent abuser?
Or was she fabricating a life of coercive control to wriggle away from a murder charge?
