KILLER Rhys Hancock

THE brother of a teacher whose estranged husband stabbed her and her new lover to death says a wedding anniversar­y may have sparked the killings.

Rhys Hancock, 40, faces life behind bars for murdering mum of three Helen Hancock, 39, and her boyfriend Martin Griffths, 48, a father of two.

They were knifed to death by the ex-headteache­r in his former marital home in Duffield, Derbys, on New Year’s Day.

Helen’s brother Dave Almey said: “What made him flip like that, I don’t know. It may have been because it was his 10th wedding anniversar­y and his wife was spending it with another man.”

Hancock admitted two murders at Derby crown court on Monday and will be sentenced later.
