A pensioner sent to prison after slitting his terminally ill wife’s throat has spoken of the need to change assisted dying laws in the UK.
Graham Mansfield was convicted of manslaughter after slitting his terminally ill wife’s throat
‘If I could have got Dyanne on a plane to Switzerland, I would have done it. If someone had offered us an injection, we would have said “yes”.’ They spent the next few months getting their affairs in order, until one night Dyanne’s condition became insufferable and she asked him to end it.When Dyanne was diagnosed with cancer the pair formed a suicide pact and Graham killed her by slitting her throat, although he later failed to take his own life
Then at 5pm the next day, Graham slit her throat in their garden. It took him two attempts to kill Dyanne, as doing it from behind like ‘in the films’ didn’t go to plan.The full details are too graphic to share, but Graham panicked upon seeing his wife dying in front of him. Speaking outside the court, Graham said euthanasia laws in the UK need to change to prevent barbaric situations like the one he was forced to endure
