A husband who strangled his wife to death six months after she'd given birth to their child has been jailed for his heinous crime.
Matthew Fisher, 30, murdered primary school teacher Abi Fisher, 29, in a fit of rage and dumped her body in a woodland before driving to Lancashire and back. Mrs Fisher had gone through three rounds of IVF so the couple could have their daughter Sydney, who was christened five days before the murder.
Mr Fisher then led the police and Mrs Fisher's family on a “wild goose chase”. Hundreds of people were searching for Mrs Fishers near her home in Castleford, West Yorkshire, before police found searches on her phone, including “why does my husband hate me?” and “is marriage counselling available on the NHS?” prosecutor James Lake said.
