A man has been jailed after stabbing his ex-partner to death in her own home in Heywood.
Glen Gibbons, 51, of Bingley Square, Rochdale pleaded guilty to the murder of Linda Parker and was sentenced at Manchester Crown Square yesterday, 7 February.
The court heard how on 25 September 2017, Linda had travelled by bus from Heywood to Rochdale and as she got off the bus, Gibbons approached her and began shouting at her in the street.
Later that day Linda returned home to find Gibbons armed with a knife. He proceeded to stab her 12 times in the neck and chest.
He then fled the scene after posting Linda’s keys through the letterbox.
Gibbons later confessed to what he had done to his mother and sister before handing himself in at Rochdale Police Station.
He was sentenced to life imprisonment and will serve a minimum of 22 years.
