SA:SA man jailed for wife's murder
A South Australian man who tried to pass off his wife's stab wounds as suicide .. will
spend the next 24 years behind bars for her murder.
After two Supreme Court trials .. 37-year-old CRAIG AARON COCKS has been found guilty
of stabbing his wife 13 times and strangling her early last year .. in their Adelaide
home.
He'd claimed she did it to herself after talking him into an impromptu suicide pact
.. to escape their financial woes.
Justice TRISH KELLY has told COCKS the murder was callous and brutal .. with his wife's
wounds showing she'd tried to defend herself.
She's jailed COCKS for life with a non parole period of 24 years.
