Wife's horrific abuse of husband caught on nanny cam as footage made public for first time

A woman who subjected her husband to 20 years of abuse was only caught when a nanny cam filmed her sickening behaviour. Now, the footage has been made public for the first time.

The assaults included kicking, punching, hitting, biting and spitting at him, and she frequently hurled insults at him. She also damaged
