Husband drowned out wife’s screams by turning up TV as she lay dying of cancer on maggot infested sofa

He was this month jailed for eight years after being found guilty of manslaughter by gross negligence.Speaking after Wallach was sentenced, one neighbour, who did not wish to be named, said: "He was very nasty with a very bad attitude, he didn't want anyone moving in next to him. He would let his wife scream 'help me, help me' for hours on end, it wasn't an unusual occurrence.

"I'm really not surprised he did what he did because from the arguments I heard he was selfish, manipulative, and nasty with a vile attitude. He's a disgrace."During his trial, the court heard when a doctor told Wallach that his wife was likely to die, he replied: "Thanks for letting me know, but who is going to sort out my problem?The tragic mum-of-two was "confined to sit in an armchair substantially soiled with urine and faeces," prosecutor Richard Pratt said.

"She appeared pale, struggling for breath and was vacant and unresponsive to the paramedics. She had flies over her, her teeth were blackened and she appeared overweight."The impression formed by the more experienced paramedic, Helen Roose, was that she had been sitting eating, urinating and defecating in the same chair for some time.

If the neighbors heard her they should have done something. Worst of all where we're rest of the family

Not a real story! Just Sun style journalism to get us all worked up and angry! It’s what they do!

What a evil man poor woman where was her children to help ?

This is truly heartbreaking, 😢😢

How come no one got the police in earlier to help this poor lady ? I knew I would , I’d have called 999 and said there a lady screaming for Help next door shouting screaming for Help !

What gets me is they heard her scream for help and did nothing, they could have reported this and saved her life, so much for caring neighbours

Terrible.
