A court in London has sentenced a jealous husband Dempsey Nibbs to life imprisonment for beheading and flushing the head of his wife for 30 years down the toilet.
Nibbs, 69, who committed the act of grotesque savagery became enraged after vivacious and caring Meals On Wheels worker Judith Nibbs, 60, taunted him and admitted that she was having an affair as their relationship fell apart.
It was also gathered that Nibbs claimed to have acted in self defence, but a jury found him guilty of murder following an Old Bailey trial.
His lawyer Ian Henderson QC told the court that the Recorder of London Nicholas Hilliard QC jailed Nibbs for life with a minimum of 21 years.
He told him: “I’m sure you don’t regret your wife’s death save for its effect on your own comfort and well-being.
The man was however suffering from cancer.
