"Lee Milne physically and psychologically abused Kimberly Bruce (Milne) and our evidence showed that this abuse was a significant contributing factor in her death. He deliberately and ruthlessly exploited Kimberly's vulnerabilities, which makes him culpable for her decision to end her own life."
"Domestic abuse is rarely about one incident. It's not only about violent acts, it includes more subtle, but nonetheless as harmful, exertions of power and control in a relationship."
Lee Milne received an eight-year prison sentence for culpable homicide after his wife, Kimberly, committed suicide due to his abusive behavior. Kimberly, 28, died by jumping from a bridge in Dundee on July 27, 2023. Evidence presented included physical, emotional, and financial abuse, with CCTV footage showing Milne's aggressive actions on the day of her death. Prosecutors argued that Milne exploited Kimberly's vulnerabilities, contributing significantly to her decision to end her life. The case is notable as it is the first in Scotland to hold a spouse criminally responsible for a partner's suicide.
