Cheating husband jailed for life for murder of wife
Cheating husband Alan Evans has been jailed for life for the murder of his wife Louise, who was found dead at the bottom of the stairs of their Kidderminster home.
He attacked her and threw her down the stairs after an argument broke out about his affair with teaching assistant Amanda Chadwick.
Evans, aged 35, will have to serve at least 17 years for killing the 32-year-old mother of his three children, as a High Court Judge labelled it a "callous and deliberate" murder.
He was unanimously convicted of murder at Worcester Crown Court today after a month-long trial.
Passing sentence, Mr Justice Hickinbottom condemned the welder for using a skipping rope and a vacuum cleaner as props in a "grotesque" attempt to pass the killing off as an accident.
