Going Overboard

I'm no fan of cheaters. I think they're scum.

But even then, I found Alisdair Sinclair's reaction to his wife's infidelity a tad over-the-top. "Stabbed Wife 'Begged for Mercy'" tells the sordid tale.

For the record, he stabbed her about 30 times, which included a "a gruesome neck injury caused by a sawing action."

But arguably the most bizarre thing about the case was his conviction:

After deliberating for seven hours the jury cleared Mr Sinclair of murder and found him guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility.
