Husband strangles estranged wife to death after she turns down his £100 offer to have sex with him 'one last time'
Martin had accused Sophie of 'rubbing salt into his wounds' by seeing other men, according to text messages recovered from one of his phones
Thirty-five-year-old Martin Cavanagh and his wife, Sophie, 31, got married in September 2011, but separated within five years in December 2016 after his "controlling jealous and possessive behavior". Nonetheless, the couple still tried to patch things up and do things together.
They visited Wingham Wildlife Park in Kent before meeting friends at a pub on May 19. However, the next day, Sophie was found dead at her apartment in Bromley, South London, Daily Mail reports.
During Martin's trial at the Old Bailey, text messages exchanged between him and his wife were read out in front of the court. "I want to have you one last final time," read one of the texts sent by Martin.
