Man jailed for killing abused wife who jumped from bridge

Lee Milne was jailed for killing his wife, despite her death resulting from a jump from a bridge. This case marks the first prosecution of its kind in Scotland, establishing that an individual can be held responsible for a death even if the victim takes their own life. The conviction indicates a legal precedent where domestic abuse leading to suicide can be prosecuted as a homicide. This ruling expands the scope of accountability for abusers whose actions directly contribute to a victim's death.
