Millionaire facing death penalty after killing wife with shotgun on safari trip

A millionaire dentist has been found guilty of murdering his wife with a shotgun at the end of an African safari trip - and cashing out on a £4.8m life insurance policy in her name.

The Mirror reports that Lawrence 'Larry' Rudolph, 67 - convicted of killing his wife of 34 years Bianca Rudolf - faces the death penalty or life in prison after Monday's verdict. Bianca died from a gunshot wound to the heart at their cabin in Zambia on October 11, 2016, on the day they were set to return to the US after a safari holiday.

Rudolph, a big game hunter from Pennsylvania, maintained his wife accidentally shot herself with their Browning gun. But a jury found him guilty of murder and mail fraud for cashing in Bianca's £4.8 million life insurance.
