Glasgow high court found Lee Milne, from Dundee, guilty of the culpable homicide of Kimberly Milne, 28
A man has been convicted of killing his wife after she took her own life following a campaign of domestic abuse, in what is the first prosecution of its kind in Scotland.
Kimberly Milne, 28, died after jumping from a motorway bridge in July 2023. Her husband Lee Milne, 39, from Dundee, had denied culpable homicide and a separate charge of domestic abuse, but was found guilty following a trial.
The high court in Glasgow heard from prosecutors that the couple had got together in late 2021, and Milne had abused Kimberly from soon into the relationship until the day she died.
The couple had married in 2022, and the court heard Kimberly had suffered significant domestic abuse in the 18 months leading up to her death. Milne was also convicted of engaging in a course of abusive conduct towards his wife.
