A man who admitted murdering his partner just weeks after he had been banned from going near her has been jailed for a minimum of 17 years.

Raymond Cartwright, 41, stabbed Alyson Bow to death, following a row at a flat in Thornwood, Glasgow, in October.

The High Court in Glasgow heard the father-of-three had been ordered to keep away from the 45-year-old former nurse after allegedly threatening her.

Judge Lord Brodie imposed a mandatory life sentence on Cartwright.

He said the murder was “particularly grave” given claims by Cartwright’s QC that he was besotted with Ms Bow and had planned to marry her.
