A man who nearly decapitated his wife because she was considering a divorce, will spend life in prison.

53 year old Peer Khairi will not have a chance at parole for 15 years.

The life sentence was automatic after he was convicrted of second degree murder.

Khairi slit his wife's throat, and stabbed her several times inside their Etobicoke home in 2008.

The Defence has already said it will appeal the sentence.
