Woman jailed for murdering estranged husband
A woman was imprisoned for life for killing her alienated husband, whose death was trying to pass as suicide.
34 -year -old Amy Pugh attacked Kyle Pugh after a discussion at the house they shared at Shropshire, Newport in March 2022.
He said that the injuries of Mr. Pugh, who did not respond to the emergency departments to cover up his crime, were given the injuries of the wounded, but in June he was found guilty of murder in Stafford Crown Court.
On Friday, PUGH was sentenced to at least 14 years in prison.
Judge Kristina Montgomery KC, while delivering the sentence, the couple and conflict “alcohol and substance addiction fueled by” a “variable dynamic”, he said.
“Your relationship has been described as toxic by everyone, including yourself,” he said.
Judge, Wolverhampton’dan Stafford Road’dan Pugh’un husband, the death of his neck, despite the injury, the nose and the eye socket was broken with the force, he added.
During the hearing, the jury members had heard how the couple left the couple arguing on the new partner of Mr. Pugh when they visited the house at Newport immediately after 20:30 on 22 March.
He turned to violence, and Mr. Pugh was shot in his face and heard the court while fighting back, suppressing him, and perhaps squeezing his neck in a “way” in a “way” in some way “with a drowning holding in some way.
Mr. Pugh continued his neck compression injuries and remained unconscious. At that time, his wife began to attempt to ensure that his situation cannot be linked to him – using the history of Mr Pugh’s “mental health struggles”, the judge killer said to your “advantage”.
When the court called for emergency services, he said that the injuries were the result of Mr. Pugh’s own actions and heard that he could be heard in a call at 999: “Kyle, Wake up, why did you do that?”
Mr. Pugh was taken to the hospital the next day he died.
The hearing heard that Mr. Pugh had sent messages to his girlfriend, father and friends on the evening of the attack, while he had a history of self -harm and trying to get his own life.
The judge said on Friday that the murderer decided to “staged a lie and a scene.”
If Pugh’s emergency services called earlier, Mr. Pugh said he might have lived.
Instead, however, the judge said that “he was composed enough to say convincing and harmonious lies about what happened.”
He said that these lies were “sarcastic and cruel” and that they caused Kyle Pugh’s family to be “important additional pain”.
“His family had to endure the repeated investigation and examination of his body, and an important delay in resting his loved ones.”
“You hit Kyle Pugh so strongly that your nose and eye socket were broken.
“And then you squeezed your neck using either a suffocating or your forearm against the wind.”
He said: “You limited blood flow to your brain, entered the subconscious and had a cardiac stance.”
The judge also said to him: “You were fixed to Kyle Pugh.
“You were hoping you’d go back to living with you despite your newly established relationship.
“Kyle Pugh had no intention of gathering you again that night.”
Authorized, “victim and aggressive blur” accepted the boundaries and Mr. Pugh “violence entered your relationship” also added.
When running the minimum term of Pugh, the judge said that his neck compression could be a reflex response to “violent violence”, and that the murderer would think that “he would worse in the severity following him,” he might have thought that “everything to prevent you from damaging.”
The judge said there was no defense, but it was a mitigation.
In the family statements read in the court, another picture of the manipulation of the killer appeared.
Mr. Pugh’s father Keith Pugh said, “He’s a big heart, he’s no longer exceeding three years and hasn’t been more than three years.”
He said that his father -in -law went to the family to organize the funeral and visited their families’ homes, but they knew “something wrong”.
Mr. Pugh’s sister Victoria Edmunds said his death was “a nightmare I didn’t wake up.”
He also told him to say goodbye to his brother in the hospital and that he was withdrawn because he died, so Amy Pugh could be with him.
“The reason we lost [him] Forever, “he said.
Another sister Kayleight Pugh said he would remember his brother as a “gentle, funny man.”
However, a “toxic culture” between himself and his wife remembered and said that the arguments were “physical”.
He said that he wanted people to remember that “men may also be a victim of domestic violence” and added: “As a culture, it is impossible to believe in domestic violence against a human being.”
“The last three and a half years has been an absolute hell for the last three and a half years.”
His father said that the long -lasting investigation was “an incompetent fee for our family.”

Following the prisoners, West Mercia police Det Insp Jo Dehahay said it was a “long, complex investigation”.
He said: “We knew that the couple had a variable relationship, but Kyle shouldn’t have died in the hands of the woman he once loved.”
Pugh then used his “strange” to protect his knowledge of his former partner’s mental problems.
Det Insp Delahay added that even though it is unusual for a woman to kill a man, the Western Mercia power would take domestic abuse reports seriously.
