Heartbroken mum fears daughter's 'foul' killer husband will 'seek revenge' after release

The family of a mother violently killed by her British Airways pilot husband at their home has described him as a risk to the public as his release from prison looms.

Robert Brown bludgeoned his wife Joanna to death with a claw hammer in October 2010, while their two young children were in a nearby playroom. He then buried the 46-year-old's body in a makeshift coffin in a prepared grave in Windsor Great Park.

Brown was acquitted of murder by a jury at Reading Crown Court in May 2011, but was jailed for manslaughter. He was sentenced to 24 years and a further two years for an offence of obstructing a coroner in the execution of his duty.
