Man jailed for killing abused wife who jumped from bridge

40-year-old Lee Milne has been sentenced to eight years in prison in a landmark Scottish case after being convicted of culpable homicide for the death of his wife, 28-year-old Kimberly Milne, who jumped from a Dundee motorway bridge in July 2023 to escape his prolonged physical, emotional, and coercive domestic abuse. Milne, who also faces three years of post-release supervision and is on the UK sex offenders' register for unrelated 2024 child sexual assault convictions, was found responsible despite Kimberly taking her own life, as evidence proved his abuse was a significant contributing factor to her despair.
