A police detective accused of murdering his wife in March last year said the scene at their Wootton Hall Park home had been "carnage".

Stafford Crown Court heard police interviews with Adrian "Otis" Goldsmith in which he said he had been a victim of domestic violence.

He told officers that on the day of this wife's death he picked up the mallet and swung it at the back of her head after she had stabbed him.

He said: "The weird thing is it had absolutely no effect, she turned around aghast...it didn't stop her in her tracks. I thought I hit quite hard and it would have the desired effect. This is the first time I have ever hit a woman in my life, honest. It was a look of shock. I dropped the mallet...you could see the hate, the red mist."

The case continues.
