Vaping killer asks 'how many years do you reckon I'll get?' after stabbing nan dead
Summary
Gavin Shaw, 62, was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 15 years for the murder of his ex-wife, Michele Kennedy, 55. Shaw stabbed Kennedy in her chest and shoulder at her home in Warrington, motivated by jealousy and resentment after she began a relationship with a man she met on holiday in Turkey. Following the brutal attack, Shaw calmly asked police officers how many years he would receive in prison, making callous remarks about Kennedy's infidelity. He exhibited a lack of remorse, even blaming Kennedy for his actions. The court heard that Shaw and Kennedy had a volatile relationship marked by alcohol abuse and frequent arguments. Kennedy was described as having found a 'new lease of life' after their separation, and Shaw's actions were deemed a revenge killing. He pleaded guilty to murder in February.
