Robert Alexander, 66, is jailed for life after stabbing his wife, Christina Alexander, 60, 77 times at their home in Dosthill, Tamworth, in June 2025. The reports say Christina tried to leave the relationship, and her injuries were inflicted around the time she was preparing to end the six-year marriage.
According to accounts in court, Christina told her sister that she would “probably be dead” by the time she left. After the attack, Alexander tells police he had “disposed of” his wife, language echoed across the outlets. Different papers focus on the same central elements: the number of stab wounds, the timing around her attempt to leave, and Alexander’s claim to police after the killing.
The coverage presents the case as involving a premeditated or escalating domestic situation, with the prosecution arguing that the assault occurred when she sought to end the relationship, and the defence centred on Alexander’s post-attack remarks. The outlets do not present divergent facts about the attack itself or the sentence.
