A man with Alzheimer's who stands ready to end his life on his own terms has supported calls for a law change over assisted dying made by a pensioner who killed his terminally-ill wife by cutting her throat. Alex Pandolfo, 68, said he wants to meet Graham Mansfield and 'shake his hand' for speaking out.
He argued the fact Mr Mansfield ended up in court was 'the fault of the law' and had euthanasia been legal, he could have sat with his wife of 40 years. After a hugely emotive criminal trial the 73-year-old was acquitted of the murder of his wife, Dyanne, in the back garden of their home in Hale, Trafford, but found guilty of her manslaughter.
He told jurors of a suicide pact they made after Mrs Mansfield, 71, had been diagnosed with stage four cancer. She had asked her husband to kill her when her illness got 'too bad', the court heard, as she didn't want to go into hospital.

Mr Mansfield, who tried but failed to then take his own life, told the Manchester Evening News after he was spared a prison sentence that he 'killed her with love' and called for assisted dying to be legalised, saying the country would be a better place for it and others would be spared the ordeal they went through.
Alex Pandolfo, from Miles Platting, Manchester, was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease, the most common type of dementia which remains incurable and life-limiting, in March 2017.
He said doctors at the time said he might live for 11 years but after four, his condition could degenerate with more severe symptoms. Manchester City fan Mr Pandolfo signed himself up for an 'assisted voluntary death' in Switzerland - a programme to which he still belongs.
