A 90-year-old man has been found guilty of stabbing his blind and ailing wife of 60 years while she tried to sleep
Retired butcher Edward Turpin was accused of trying to kill Joan Turpin, also 90, after losing patience with caring for her at their home in Ringshall Road, Orpington, Kent, on September 22 last year.
The pensioner became unwell after giving evidence in his Old Bailey trial and was not present in court when a jury returned verdicts on Tuesday after deliberating for 10 hours and 23 minutes.However, the jury found him guilty of a further lesser alternative charge of wounding on the basis he was reckless as to the injuries she might sustain.
Turpin had accepted he got a carving knife from the kitchen and injured his wife in bed, but said it was to "quieten her down" after she started screaming at night.
