A TAUNTON grandmother was stabbed to death by her boyfriend during a drunken row on holiday, an Indian court decided this week.

Catherine Campbell, 43, was found lying face down in a pool of blood after police burst into the guesthouse where she was staying with Adrian Duggan.

The mother of four had suffered neck and chest wounds after being attacked with a blunt pair of scissors, the court heard.

Duggan, now 37, was found guilty this week of murdering Ms Campbell in the Goan resort of Vagator on Christmas Day, 2003, and was sentenced to life imprisonment.
