A pig farmer accused of killing his wife and dumping her body in a septic tank has been found guilty of her murder. David Venables, 89, murdered his wife Brenda, 48, so that he could run away with his secret lover.
A jury of five men and seven women took three days to return a guilty verdict following a trial held at Worcester Crown Court. Venables, who arrived at court carrying both a sports bag and briefcase, showed no emotion when the verdict was read out.
Jurors during the trial heard details of Venables' "on-off" 14-year-long affair with now dead mother-of-three Lorraine Styles, including how he visited his mistress to have sex just mere days after his wife vanished, The Mirror reports.
