This afternoon he was sentenced to life in prison to serve a minimum of 32 years after being found guilty of murdering his ex-partner. The jury were told Wadsworth claimed he had suffered a 'loss of control' after Ms Belshaw made revelations to him prior to the killing. After sending Wadsworth down, the judge has commended the bravery of a workman who 'came to the rescue' of Ms Belshaw's daughter.
She also commended the bravery of police officers who attended the scene, in particular two female officers. Before Mrs Justice Yip left court, one of Ms Belshaw's supporters in the public gallery said 'thank you judge'. The judge described the attempted murder as a 'matter of grave public concern', an attack on an 'innocent member of the public'.
The judge says the evidence showed that Ms Belshaw's child witnessed 'at least some' of the attack on her mother. The judge said Wadsworth had displayed 'no remorse' for the murder of the woman he 'professed to have once loved'. The judge, describing Wadsworth as a 'violent and dangerous man', used 'character assassination' against Ms Belshaw during the trial to shift blame.
She describes Ms Belshaw as a 'loving and loved daughter, sister and mother', who may have 'made some mistakes' but was 'still only young and was seeking to turn her life around'.
