THE sentencing of Glyn Dix, who stabbed and dismembered his wife Hazel Dix in June last year, has been adjourned until February 23.

Judge Mr Justice Wilkie, sitting at Birmingham Crown Court last Wednesday, made the decision after hearing Dix, 50, is being treated for schizophrenia. A psychiatric report is now being prepared.

Dix admitted killing 54-year-old Mrs Dix at their home in Seymour Drive, Abbeydale.

He had previously served time for killing another woman in 1980.
