A man who murdered his wife in a knife attack while her four children were in the family home has been sentenced to life in prison.
First offender Momodou Bobb stabbed his wife, Ndata Bobb, at least 22 times during the attack at their home in Restalrig Avenue, Edinburgh.
The killer later claimed that he and his partner were fighting, and he was holding a knife that had slipped.
The 56-year-old admitted to murdering his wife on August 27 and 28 last year at the family home by repeatedly striking her with a knife.
At the High Court in Edinburgh, Bobb was ordered to serve 16 years and eight months in jail before he is eligible to seek release from parole authorities following the brutal murder.
