'Simone Ramage, 41, was told at the High Court in Edinburgh she would not be given a custodial sentence after a judge previously concluded she had killed Brian Kowbel in the Scottish Borders in 2023.

Ramage shot Mr Kowbel on 17 February 2023 at their home in Galashiels, leaving him so severely injured he later died at Borders General Hospital in Melrose.

Judge John Morris KC said at a hearing on Wednesday he was satisfied the non-custodial sentence was "the most suitable means of dealing with you".

He said Ramage would have to comply with treatment aimed at improving her health.'
