Accused Richard Davies Jones 'saw wife stab herself'


A solicitor accused of stabbing his wife to death has told a court she stabbed him during a row at their home and then turned the knife on herself.
Former Army officer Richard Davies Jones said his last memory of his wife Laura was of her repeatedly jabbing the knife at her neck at their Surrey home.
Guildford Crown Court heard the incident happened as he was preparing to drive his wife to her mother's home.
Mr Davies Jones, of Woodfield Lane, Lower Ashtead, denies murder.
The court has heard the couple, who had three children, had a turbulent marriage and police had been called to reports of physical violence between the couple.
Social worker Mrs Davies Jones had a history of self-harming, the jury has been told.
The prosecution has claimed Mr Davies Jones found out his wife was planning to leave him before her death in December last year.
