Pensioner stabbing inquest resumes

The inquest resumes today into the murder and suicide of an elderly couple in Kendal last year. Ninety two year old Stanley Wilson stabbed his 89 year old wife Peggie to death at their home, before turning the knife on himself.

Last week the inquest heard Mr Wilson had believed his wife was trying to poison him. He'd been prescribed anti-psychotic drugs and had been released from hospital less than a week before the stabbing. Family members said his behaviour changed after he'd begun to lose his sight in the months before.

Mrs Wilson suffered multiple injuries in the attack, including knife wounds to the neck, and punches to the face and head.

The inquest continues.
