Man convicted of murder – Drumchapel, Glasgow
A man has been convicted of murder after attacking his wife in Glasgow.
Jeanna Maher was killed at her home in Dewar Drive, Drumchapel on Wednesday, 26 September, 2018.
Peter Maher, 61, was found guilty of murder and attempting to defeat the ends of justice following a trial at the High Court in Glasgow today (Tuesday, 14 February, 2023).
Detective Superintendent Scott McCallum, from Police Scotland’s Major Investigation Team, said: “Jeanna was a much loved mother to her three sons and her extended family.
“She was an incredibly popular member of the community, with many friends.
“It has been a very difficult time for all of them, and although today's verdict won't change what happened, I hope this outcome will help bring Jeanna’s family some closure.
“This was a brutal attack on a woman who should have been safe in her own home and Peter Maher will now have to face the consequences for his actions.
“Domestic crime, in all its forms, remains one of Police Scotland’s top priorities.
“If you are experiencing abuse, I would encourage you to contact police who can provide reassurance and support about those next steps.”
