Overview
- The High Court imposed a 10-year custodial term for the culpable homicide of Sara Irvine, 34, with the sentence backdated to April 18, 2024.
- Jurors in November cleared Wilson of murder but convicted her of the lesser offence after the fatal stabbing in an Auchinleck Road flat in Aberdeen on April 17, 2024.
- Lord Mulholland said Wilson went to a “crack den” to score drugs and armed herself with a knife that caused massive internal bleeding and cardiac arrest.
- The judge said she showed no remorse, failed to seek help, discarded bloody clothing, washed at home, and misled police about her movements.
- Wilson lodged a special defence of self-defence and admitted stabbing Irvine, while witness Jason King told the court he saw the attack.
