Classy guy.

Why not? Once you've killed your wife, picking up some chicks isn't cheating anymore.

Oh SHIAT! They found out!

The second I figured out that he was a cop I was surprised he didn't just get a slap on the wrist.

Oh wait... um.. nevermind.

So...for curiosity sake...what is your price to join the Australian Olympic wife-tossing team? Since you brought up the amount of money and all..

I have found that women will go down like submarines after a funeral. I always like to go to the party after and pump the with a few drinks and a couple Ambien. The butt secks is amazing when they can finally STFU.

England has silly laws for everything, but if you throw your wife off your cliff in calculated murder it's ONLY 24 friggin years? Retarded.

Yeah, I mean, if this had happened in Australia he would've got much much more.

Look, I'm sorry the wife died, but the guy needed some companionship.

Given that he felt he needed to push her off a cliff to escape her, his wife probably wasn't giving it up in recent years anyway... so in practical terms he'd already been separated for some time.

I think they should have given the benefit of the doubt. I'm sure he thought she could fly.

Only? He is 52, now giving someone 200 years is worse than retarded.

British policeman jailed for 33 years after hurling new wife from cliff

/I expect better next time in your female-bashing. We have high standards here.

I hate to sound thick, but... how does being an asshole, going to a singles event on the day of the funeral prove that he's a murderer? As far as I can tell, it just proves he's an asshole. And the article says that some footprints "suggests" that she knew her fate... unless that's proof enough beyond a reasonable doubt, I'm not entirely sure that there was enough evidence for a conviction. Maybe it's just this article, though.

He had claimed she fell to her death accidentally after leaving their tent, pitched metres from the cliff edge, in the hours of darkness to go to the toilet. ... Her shoe print and a broken tree branch at the scene suggest 'she was aware of her fate for some short time before she fell'.

Is that the only evidence, or did they dust her back for fingerprints?

Don't know that I would be able come up with a figure, just seems to be a low amount for murdering someone - especially since you are going to be the principal suspect.

If you are going to do it, go big.

The article should be required reading prior to commenting, kids.

Why am I not surprised he was a former cop?

CygnusDarius: What a horrible night to have a curse.

That game sucks.

"Her shoe print and a broken tree branch at the scene..."

I am so hoping that there's more to the story than that alone. That must've been some heckova footprint to convict this guy for murder. And a broken tree branch?

That's all? Wow.

Cryptic Farker,

Considering how narcisistic and uncaring this guy had to be to go hunting a new GF on the night of his wifes funeral. I'm guessing that the dedicated partnership that is marriage wasn't going so well and ridding himself of the wife was the end itself, not a means to earning money.

Big but subtle, 6 months- way too soon. Build the life insurance up gradually, take out a few policies on yourself to deflect suspicion, have some patience...

OK, look, I didn't RTFM, but my point stands. If you're throwing your wife off a cliff after only 6 months, chances are things were pretty bad and you've been looking forward to a second chance.

OK, things have only been bad for six months, but depending on HOW bad, six months can be a long time.

In a situation like this, there's generally going to be one of four types of footprints, three of which are suspicious:

1) Single set matching her shoes - jumped or fell
2) Two sets - some sort of struggle, resulting in her going over
3) Drag marks - thrown over
4) Single set matching his shoes - he picked her up and tossed her over
