The chilling story of a "psychopath" husband who murdered his wife and used her savings to travel the world for nearly three years has been told in a new documentary. Jamie Starbuck killed his wife Debbie, dismembered her body and burnt it in bin in his back garden in Basford in 2010.
He then dumped her remains in woodland and set off on his travels across Europe, Asia and Central America. Then aged 36, Starbuck pretended his wife was travelling with him in emails he sent to family and friends, keeping up the cruel charade for years, before family became suspicious and went to police.
Starbuck was arrested at Heathrow Airport on a return flight from Peru. On his iPad he had confessed his wife's murder in a letter addressed to her. It read: "I planned for it to be quick and never expected you to be so...durable".
