Woman heard 'saying help’ in husband's 999 call to confess 'he had killed his wife'

An inquest heard that 71-year-old Anthony Buxton strangled his 69-year-old wife, Michelle, before committing suicide. Evidence indicated that Buxton had suffered a decline in his mental health during the months preceding the incident. After the killing, he placed a 999 call to confess his actions. During this emergency call, a woman could be heard in the background asking for help. The proceedings focused on the circumstances leading to the double fatality and Buxton's psychological state.
