Mother of three jailed for part in husband's murder
A mother of three has been sentenced to life in jail today after playing a part in the killing of her husband, by her lover in 2000.
Lesley Gault, 35, will have to serve at least 15 years in jail for her role in the murder after the prosecution team told Belfast Crown Court how she provided vital information to her lover, Neil Gordon Graham, of her husband's whereabouts.
Paul Gault, 34, was found beaten to death in the bedroom of his Audley Avenue home in Lisburn, on 19 May 2000.
Mr Graham was jailed in December last year for his role in the murder and will serve at least 20 years in prison for the murder.
Mrs Gault was convicted by a majority verdict at Belfast Crown Court in March after three days of deliberation by the jury.
