Domestic abuser jailed for causing death of ex-wife in landmark case

Lee Milne was convicted of killing his wife after she jumped to her death from a road bridge in Dundee

In a legal first, a domestic abuser has been jailed for a minimum of eight years, after a jury found him guilty of causing the death of his ex-wife.

Kimberly Bruce, 28, from Dundee, died by suicide after enduring 18 months of physical and psychological domestic abuse as a result of Lee Milne’s violent, coercive and controlling behaviour.

In what prosecutors and campaigners are calling a landmark case, Milne will spend at least eight years behind bars and will be supervised for a further three on his release.
