Husband bludgeons and kills wife of more than 50 years after she left him for a childhood friend who wooed her on social media

The children had been warned of their father's intentions but did not believe that their 74-year-old dad could murder their mother.
UPDATED JAN 8, 2019

A husband who felt betrayed after his wife of more than 50 years had left him for her childhood friend murdered her by stabbing her with a kitchen knife and bludgeoning her with a large piece of wood. A London court heard the gruesome details in the death of 69-year-old Sheila Thomas, who was allegedly killed by her estranged husband, 74-year-old David Thomas.

According to the Daily Mail, Sheila had called off their half-a-century long marriage one month before her murder on July 24 this past year. She had reconnected with a childhood flame on Facebook, and when David discovered their fling, she had moved out of their shared home and into the one of her new lover.
