Man jailed for life after stabbing wife for taunted him for having a small penis
David Clark, 49, stabbed wife Melanie, 44, to death in a drunken rage after discovering she had had a fling with his best friend's daughter
AN estate agent who stabbed his wife to death after she taunted him for having a small penis has been jailed for life.
David Clark, 49, flew into a drunken rage two days after Melanie, 44, had a fling with his best friend’s daughter.
The ex-military medic — described as “controlling and bullying” — stabbed her in the chest with a cooking knife.
The pair had earlier enjoyed a night celebrating New Year's Eve at a friends house where they played a drinking game version of snakes and ladders, which involved downing shots of whiskey.
But once they returned home, they began arguing about Melanie's lesbian encounter after she started bragging about "seeing Katie in her sexy underwear".
Clark text Katie's businessman dad Stephen Bastians, 58, in "spite and revenge" to expose the details of their tryst.
He then knifed his wife of ten years in the chest in their marital bedroom when she failed to rise to "evil" taunts after becoming "uncontrollably" angry.
He dialled 999 confessing: "My wife started being s*** again. I can't believe I f*****g did it. She f*****g did my head in."
Clark was found guilty of murdering mum-of-four Melanie at Birmingham crown court last month.
He was sentenced yesterday to at least 15 years.
