Barton-le-Clay man jailed over attempted murder of his partner

A Barton-le-Clay man who tried to murder his partner by stabbing her repeatedly in the chest and stomach has been jailed today.

Adam Latchford, 56, attacked Melinda Cox one evening last August after the couple returned home from the pub where she worked. As they both got ready for bed, Latchford started to swear at his long-term partner before going downstairs to get a large kitchen knife which he then stabbed her with at the top of the stairs.
