An 89-year-old retired pig farmer “got away with murder” for nearly 40 years after dumping his wife in a septic tank while having a “long-standing affair”, a court heard.
David Venables is alleged to have killed “prim and proper” Brenda Venables. Her remains were discovered in the underground chamber, in what was once a “rough”, overgrown and “secluded ” spot, 37 years after she vanished.
