THE luxury home of Penelope Jackson, who stabbed her husband to death after years of abuse, has reportedly sold for \u00a3450,000. <\/p>\n

Jackson, 66, murdered David, 78, in the two-bedroom property in Berrow, Somerset, advertised for sale online.<\/p>\n

Pictures show an immaculate garden outside complete with hot tub, rhododendrons, and an idyllic seating area.<\/p>\n

Inside the property, photos of the killer and her husband hang on the walls, looming over potential buyers.<\/p>\n

The kitchen where 66-year-old Mrs Jackson fatally knifed David Jackson was also advertised to help sell the house, Daily Mail reports.<\/p>\n

One picture shows the Aga which was claimed in court to have been the centre of an argument over burnt bubble and squeak which led to the slaying.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jurors heard how Mrs Jackson first slashed across the chest in a bedroom of the couple's house.<\/p>\n

After knifing him she told police she had left him for dead on the kitchen floor.<\/p>\n

In a conversation recorded by police, Mrs Jackson told an emergency call handler: "He\u2019s in the kitchen bleeding to death with any luck.<\/p>\n

"I thought I\u2019d got his heart, but he hasn\u2019t got one then twice in the abdomen. His abdomen is buggered."<\/p>\n

The property appears to be a happy, family home, with wedding snaps adorning the living room wall and stacks of books on shelves.<\/p>\n

The garden has also been neatly kept and the dining room table appears set for a family meal. <\/p>\n

One nearby resident told the Mail: "I'm not sure if the new owners are aware of what happened in there.<\/p>\n

I'm not sure if the new owners are aware of what happened in there.<\/p>\n

"But I wish them all the best in their new home and that the neighbourhood can move on from this."<\/p>\n

Jackson was jailed for life yesterday with a minimum of 18 years \u2014 meaning she will be at least 84 before she can be considered for release.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Defence accountant showed no emotion as the jurors came back with their verdict after deliberating for ten hours and 43 minutes.<\/p>\n

Family members of Mr Jackson \u2014 who had been a lieutenant colonel in the Royal Logistics Corps \u2014 burst into tears.<\/p>\n

As part of her defence during the two-week trial, she claimed she had been abused by her husband for decades \u2014 an allegation David\u2019s family bitterly rejected.<\/p>\n

In a statement given to the court, she alleged she had been headbutted, strangled and kicked down a stone staircase by her husband.<\/p>\n

She said the \u201cextreme violence\u201d had started following the suicide of the David\u2019s son from his first marriage in 1998. <\/p>\n

But David\u2019s family and friends dismissed Jackson\u2019s suggestions she had been the victim of sustained domestic violence and accused her of lying.<\/p>\n
