A HUSBAND has admitted trying to kill his lotto-winning wife at their \u00a3700,000 home three years after she won the \u00a35.5million jackpot.<\/p>\n

Stephen Gibbs, 45, initially denied the attempted murder of partner Emma Brown, 49, at their luxury home during lockdown but changed his plea to guilty.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Emma scooped the huge sum around three years ago and quit her job to move into the detached cottage.<\/p>\n

She required surgery following the alleged knife attack at her plush home in Lakeside, Barry, South Wales, and police arrived at around 10pm on Saturday, January 30.<\/p>\n

Flooring worker Gibbs, whose address was given as the home he shared with Emma, today appeared at Cardiff Crown Court.<\/p>\n

An earlier hearing heard there had allegedly been previous violence between the couple.<\/p>\n

Judge Richard Twomlow said: "You have now pleaded guilty to the offence of attempted murder, a serious offence.<\/p>\n

"I ask for a pre sentence report and I am told there's a psychiatric report. You face a lengthy prison sentence, you must be aware of that."<\/p>\n

Gibbs was told he will be sentenced at Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court next month.<\/p>\n

The couple had been together for 11 years and previously owned a home in another part of Barry, which they rented out after Emma scooped her win.<\/p>\n

Emma had been a deputy manager working for aircraft handling firm Servisair.<\/p>\n
