A 76-year-old man who bludgeoned his wife to death with a garden gnome was sentenced on Friday to four years in jail, BBC News reported.

Frederick Gilliard, of Blackpool, England, told police he “just lost it” when he attacked his wife, Josephine, last year with a gnome and an 8-inch carving knife.

Lancashire Police said in a news release that Gilliard denied the original charge of murder but plead guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
