A WOMAN has been found guilty of fatally stabbing her husband in Somerset earlier this year.

Henri Kekkonen, 41, died on 9 May at the home in Dunford Terrace he shared with Christine Kekkonen after she stabbed him in the neck.

The 36-year-old claimed she did not intend to injure Henri, however, a jury at Bristol Crown Court today (November 29) found her guilty of murder.

She will be sentenced on Friday, March 28.

Henri was attacked at some point between 4pm and 4.20pm in their shared home.

At 4:21pm, Christine Kekkonen sent a text message to her mum saying “Mum, please get the police here now. Please. I’ve done something awful”.

Her dad then called for an ambulance, and the police were informed.

Within 15 minutes, emergency services were at their home, but despite their efforts, Henri died at the scene.

A subsequent search of the house led to the discovery of a knife.

Christine Kekkonen was arrested on suspicion of murder and later charged by detectives from the Major Crime Investigation Team.

"Henri was a loving husband who aged 41 had so much more life to live," said senior investigating officer Lorett Spierenburg, "those opportunities were cruelly taken from him.

"Christine Kekkonen is clearly a vulnerable woman, but her actions that afternoon have cut short the life of a man who completely doted on her.

"I am pleased for Henri’s family that the woman responsible for his death has today been convicted of his murder and my thoughts remain with them."
