A heart-wrenching case has come to a close as Lee Milne, 40, of Dundee, has been sentenced to eight years in prison for the culpable homicide of his wife, Kimberly Milne. Following a relentless campaign of abuse, Kimberly tragically took her own life, jumping from a road bridge onto the A90 in July 2023. Her family described her as “a much-loved daughter, sister, and aunt,” and their grief is immeasurable.
The court heard harrowing details of the abuse Kimberly endured for 18 months. Milne’s aggressive behaviour included erratic driving with Kimberly in the car, physical assaults, and a chilling attempt to isolate her from loved ones. In separate instances, he violently choked her and threw objects, leaving her terrified and desperate for escape.
Adding to the gravity of the case, Milne was already on the sex offenders’ register for prior offences. The conviction has prompted Detective Chief Inspector Craig Kelly to emphasise that domestic abuse will not be tolerated, pledging that offenders will be held accountable.
This devastating story serves as a stark reminder of the destructive power of domestic abuse and the need for support systems to aid those in distress. If you or someone you know needs help, Samaritans offer a free helpline at 116 123, available 24/7.
