Husband posted vile plea for help after murdering his wife and dumping her body

A man has admitted to murdering his wife, who he welcomed a daughter with just months earlier via IVF treatment. Matthew Fisher, 29, was said to have murdered Abi Fisher between July 7 and July 10 this year by strangulation.

School teacher Abi from Castleford was last seen leaving her home in Walton Park Street on July 8 around midnight but did not tell anyone where she was going, her family told police. West Yorkshire Police (WYP) launched a missing person investigation, and the community in Castleford conducted searches to try and find the mum-of-one.

On July 11, the force confirmed they had found Abi's body in undergrowth off Southmoor Road, near Brierley, South Yorkshire the day before, reports YorkshireLive. Fisher was arrested and charged.
