Leigh Pateman was previously sentenced to 17 years for grievous bodily harm with intent, but admitted murder after Ms Marshall died from her injuries in March 2023.
A man whose partner died two years after he poured petrol over her and set her on fire has been jailed for life. Mother-of-four Ellen Marshall, who was aged 43 when she died, suffered 80% full-thickness burns to her torso, face, and limbs which required skin grafts, after Leigh Pateman doused her and set her alight during an argument in April 2021.
Prosecutor Sarah Knight said she was left with 'little hair on her head' and her face was so badly burned her appearance had been 'radically altered'.
