Ukip wife-killer is jailed for life
A FORMER Ukip councillor who murdered his wife over his affair with his son’s partner has been jailed for life.
Stephen Searle, who strangled his wife Anne, 62, during a row over his affair with Anastasia Pomiateeva, 39, ‘brought grief and distress untold’ upon his family, Mr Justice Green said yesterday.
The judge told the ex-Marine: ‘Your actions have caused devastating waves of pain and anguish to crash through your entire family. No sentence that I impose can ever undo that suffering.’
Searle, 64, showed no emotion as he was ordered to serve a minimum of 14 years behind bars at Ipswich Crown Court.
