BBC News OnlineThe fatal stabbing of a family GP in Cornwall by his wife "may have been prevented", a report has concluded.
Dr Geraint Hughes - known as Tiger - was stabbed through the heart with a kitchen knife by his wife Marion in November 2013.
Marion Hughes, a retired GP, had a "severe depressive disorder" and was "in all probability psychotic" at the time of the killing.
A domestic homicide review published today said it could be argued "if more had been done to ensure compliance with medication, more effective monitoring, and improved risk assessment had been undertaken, these may have played a part in the possible prevention of the killing".
Image source, Devon and Cornwall PoliceShe admitted manslaughter on grounds of diminished responsibility in June 2014. She was detained at St Andrew's Hospital, Northampton and can only be released with the permission of the Secretary of State.
The Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, which is responsible for mental health care in the county, said there were "areas where care fell below the expected standards and it is possible that had these been addressed, the death may have been prevented".

BBC SpotlightTwo men have admitted offences relating to a lorry crash which left a woman from Cornwall with life-changing injuries.
A lorry carrying telegraph poles crashed into Kay Kitto as she was loading her car outside her home in Falmouth in September 2015.
Mrs Kitto - who is visually impaired - suffered spinal, leg and head injuries and now uses a wheelchair.
The driver of the vehicle, Paul Ince, has already admitted causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
His boss, 40-year-old Gavin Bentley, from Midland Poling Services and the firm’s maintenance manager Paul O’Toole, 50, were due to go on trial today at Truro Crown Court. However, the pair pleaded guilty to aiding or abetting dangerous driving.
The three men are due to be sentenced on Friday. The judge, Robert Linford, said he would like to know more details of the effect the crash has had on Mrs Kitto at that hearing.

Coastguard warning after another landslidepublished at 13:22 British Summer Time 9 April 2018

BBC News OnlineA landslide in Looe has sparked warnings for people to stay away from the area and not to take selfies near dangerous cliffs.
The landslide happened at Looe beach, in Cornwall, on 4 April. The area has since been cordoned off.
There have been a number of cliff collapses and rockslides in recent months, HM Coastguard said.
Image source, Looe CoastguardQuote MessageThe cliffs along the UK coastline are continually eroding, with pieces falling from them that can be just a few small rocks or as large as a car. Periods of intense rainfall will often make cliff edges more vulnerable. Don't be tempted to go and investigate and don't risk going to the edge to get a dramatic picture. One of our biggest problems is tackling the 'selfie culture' where people take risks to get a dramatic photograph of themselves on a dangerous cliff edge or during a tidal surge - no selfie or photograph is worth risking your life for."

BBC News OnlineA drug dealer from Paignton has been jailed for five years after he was caught with three knives and more than £5,000 cash in a public park.
John Dunbar, 24, escaped from police and was arrested again nine days later at a flat he was living in. Police found another 32 wraps of cannabis worth £250.
Dunbar, of Winner Street, Paignton, admitted a total of three counts of possession of class A or B drugs with intent to supply, possession of criminal property, possession of a knife and escape from custody.
Image source, Devon and Cornwall PoliceHis defence team said he had started selling cannabis to fund his own habit after leaving prison and finding himself homeless.
His lawyer, Paul Dentith, said: "He got involved at someone else's behest and decided to go on to fund his habit. He slipped into the seedy world of drugs.
"He has a personality disorder, anxiety and depression and some learning difficulties and did not have the skills to deal with the drugs world."
Quote MessageYou got away from the police unlawfully and carried on regardless. That was breathtakingly arrogant behaviour."

Plymouth lecturer: Royal baby will have to get normal jobpublished at 13:05 British Summer Time 9 April 2018
Image source, EPAA historian from the University of Plymouth says the new royal baby will be encouraged to look for a career outside the royal family when he or she grows up.
Visiting research fellow, Judith Rowbotham, says the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's third child is highly unlikely ever to become king or queen.
Dr Rowbotham has suggested that rather than having a public role, the new prince or princess will be on the fringes of the royal family as an adult.

Born fifth in line, the baby will be behind both older brother and future monarch Prince George, and older sister Princess Charlotte in the line of succession.
The child is due this month.
