A family sobbed today in court as grandmother Teresa Hanson appeared in the dock accused of murdering her husband at their home just three days after Christmas.
Hanson will spend her 54th birthday behind bars tomorrow, after being charged with the murder of Paul Hanson, 54 – her husband of 34 years.
Police were called to their £250,000 property on Little London Lane on December 28 following reports that the beloved grandfather had sustained a stab wound.
Mr Hanson was rushed to hospital but died a short time after arriving. His hairdresser wife was arrested and charged with murder.
Appearing in Hull Magistrates Court, she spoke only to confirm her name and date of birth – January 1, 1969.

Paul Hanson, 54, died following an alleged incident at his home in West Cowick, Snaith
She wore a grey tracksuit and addressed the court in a near whisper as family members watched from the public gallery.
As Hanson stood in the dock, her loved ones were audibly sobbing in the public gallery.
Describing the case as a ‘difficult situation for all concerned’ the bench said it was so serious it could only be dealt with by the Crown Court.
She did not enter a plea and was remanded in custody to appear at Hull Crown Court on January 3 after it was agreed the case should be fast-tracked under a new system for more serious charges.

There was no application for bail so no details emerged of the incident in West Cowick, a village near Snaith, East Yorkshire, which led to the death of construction site boss Mr Hanson.
It happened just three days after the whole family including the grandchildren sat around the table to eat a Christmas dinner cooked by Teresa Hanson.
Daughter Sherri Hanson visited the house over Christmas and posted joyous pictures and comments about her son opening his presents with his grandfather.
In July, Mrs Hanson posted a social media tribute to her husband, writing alongside a smiling picture of them together: ‘Happy Anniversary to this man 34years today wow, not sure we’re that’s gone had a few challenges along the way ( think you have 9 life’s ) but got though them together x 2 kids and 3 gorgeous grandchildren love you loads.’
