A wife who ambushed her unfaithful husband and stabbed him to death has been jailed for life.
Rita Salmon, who had earlier slashed her husband Derek's car tyres, armed herself with a 10-inch kitchen knife before storming round to her daughter's two months after the man she met as a love-struck teenager moved in with his mistress.
Then, the former army cookhouse supervisor ordered the "terrified" daughter to lure her father to the murderous confrontation she had carefully planned.
Warning Tara Salmon that if she did not do as she was told her fiance would also die, she drew the kitchen curtains so "no-one can see".
At one stage the 54-year-old mother of two chillingly observed: "Till death us do part, so death do us part it will be".
