A betrayed wife has been jailed for life for stabbing her husband to death.

Rita Salmon, 55, lured Derek Salmon to his death by getting their only daughter Tara to call him to her home in Victoria Gardens, in High Woods, Colchester.

It was there, at his daughter's home, that Salmon, of Sheering Walk,Colchester, stabbed the manager of the George Yard shopping centre in Braintree nine times in the back on July 28 last year.

A jury at Inner London Crown Court on Friday took less than two hours to find Salmon, a former Betts UK worker, guilty of murder.
