Judge sentences Martin Suter to minimum of 27 years for stabbing Ann Blackwood to death in 2023
A man has been jailed for life with a minimum of 27 years for murdering his ex-wife at their son’s grave on their late child’s birthday.
Martin Suter, 68, was rebuked by the judge and his former brother-in-law for “pitilessly extinguishing” the life of Ann Blackwood, 71.
Suter, a Green party member and council election candidate, laid in wait for Blackwood for five hours at a graveyard in Stubbington, Hampshire, in 2023 and stabbed her 19 times.
He stabbed her with his 12-inch kitchen knife and then with a pair of scissors she had brought with her to trim memorial flowers, the court heard.
