A 56-year-old man has admitted killing his wife at her home.
Tracey Davies, 48, was found dead at the property in Cefn Cribwr, Bridgend county, on 18 April, after police were called to reports of concern for the welfare of two people.
Michael Davies, 56, from Cefn Cribwr, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder.
He pleaded guilty to manslaughter at Newport Crown Court but denied murder on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
In a tribute in April, Ms Davies’ family said she was “devoted mother” whose children were her “greatest pride”.
They described her as a “a cherished sister, a loyal friend, and a radiant presence whose laughter could light up any room”.
The case was adjourned for further psychiatric reports until 3 October.
