Wife's "bye bye" note on day husband died

A murder trial in Manchester is hearing testimony from Daryl Berman, 71, accused of killing her 84-year-old husband, David Berman. Prosecutors allege she deliberately stabbed him, a charge she vehemently denies, insisting it was an accident where he fell onto a knife in their kitchen.

During her defence, Daryl described the shocking moment she found her husband unresponsive, saying she "froze" in shock. She recounted preparing lunch and being with family members throughout the day. Significantly, she admitted to writing "bye bye" with two kisses and a heart on her calendar for the day of his death, a gesture she compared to messages for deceased parents.

The court also heard that the Bermans' marriage was described as "loving and mutually supportive" with no history of domestic issues. Daryl mentioned her husband's recent struggles with memory and balance. The trial continues as the defence aims to establish the death as a tragic accident rather than a homicide.
