Man Stabbed Wife To Death In Drunken Rage About Lesbian Affair.
An estate agent allegedly stabbed his wife to death in a drunken rage over her lesbian affair and taunts about having a "small d***". David Clark is accused of murdering his wife, Melanie, after they had taken part in drinking games, before he called 999 and confessed.
The 49-year-old told operatives "she f***ing did you my head in" after attacking her at their Worcestershire home just before midnight on new year's Eve, Birmingham Crown court heard .
The jury was told the couple had been married for 10 years but had a turbulent relationship.
They had argued about a lesbian affair the 44-year-old South African-born woman had with one of their friend's daughters.
Mrs. Clark, who had four children from a previous relationship, was pronounced dead 12 minutes into the New year.
Just minutes later her two sons Sheldon, 22, and Side,19, returned from a party to see their stepdad arrested in blood-soaked pyjamas, the court was told.
In the hours before her death the jury heard the pair downded three bottles of prosecco between them as they celebrate with friends.
The court heard Clark tried to kill himself with gas at their three-bed £200,000 home before police arrived and even begged officers to kill him.
Prosecutor Benjamin Aina QC said: "Melanie Clark had told her husband she wanted him to leave their home. " He couldn't take the rejection and killed his wife.
"They had been married for 10 years
They had no children together, but she was the mother of two boys and two girls from previous relationships. "There was a bit of turbulence in the relationship between the defendant and his wife."
Clark denies murder. The trial continues.
