An 82-year-old man has been jailed for a minimum of 16 years for the horrific murder of his wife.
Robert Lewis stabbed Janet Lewis, 76, and then attempted to kill himself at their home in Hullbridge, near Southend, Essex, on 1 September 2019.
A jury at Chelmsford Crown Court heard he feared developing dementia and that Mrs Lewis, who was fit and healthy, would suffer a stroke.
Judge Christopher Morgan told Lewis: Janet must have been terrified.
He added: There are no words to describe the emotional suffering you have inflicted on your family by your selfish and wicked acts.
