A mum was diagnosed with cancer just two days after her son was stabbed to death by his abusive girlfriend. Sandra Morgan was dealt the devastating blow only 48 hours after her world came crashing down, when her son, Gary, was killed by his partner.
The 36-year-old was knifed in the chest by Emma Walsh at her home on Lavan Close in Everton. Yesterday, the 31-year-old killer was jailed for life, with a minimum term of 18 years after a jury unanimously convicted her of murder.
During her sentencing, statements were read out on behalf of the victim's family, the Liverpool Echo reports. Dad Jimmy said his son "changed before his eyes" and became a "shadow of his former self" as he was subjected to several incidents of domestic violence.

Mrs Morgan said in her statement: "Gary’s death has devastated our whole family, and words cannot describe our loss. Gary was a happy bubbly person who loved life. He worked hard and was trying his best to build up his business. He was only 36 years of age and had his whole life ahead of him.
"We are devastated to lose a caring and fun loving son and brother to domestic violence. Family was important to Gary, and he had a close relationship with all of us."
The mum-of-six added: "Every night, he would ring me and tell me he loved me. This is something I will never hear him say to me again. The thought of this breaks my heart. I did not think that Sunday, April 10, 2022, would be the last time I would ever speak to him.
"I never got to finish making memories with Gary, we had so much
