Darren Brown, a 35-year-old ex-councillor from Bridgend, has been sentenced to 18 years in prison for the attempted murder of his wife, Corrine. The attack occurred during an argument at their home, where Brown stabbed her three times, laughing during the assault. Despite initially denying the charge, Brown was convicted after a jury heard evidence that any of the wounds could have been fatal. The Crown Prosecution Service emphasized the seriousness of the crime, noting that Brown’s actions indicated a clear intent to kill his wife.
