Ex-head teacher jailed for 31 years after New Yearâs Day âbloodbathâ murders
A “sadistic” husband has been jailed for a minimum of 31 years after murdering his estranged wife and her lover in a New Year’s Day “bloodbath”.
Former head teacher Rhys Hancock killed Helen Hancock and Martin Griffiths at the former marital home in Duffield, Derbyshire, before calling police to say: “I’ve just murdered my wife in her bed.”
Derby Crown Court heard the 40-year-old defendant was found outside the property in a blood-stained shirt just after the murders, telling a police officer: “I’m hardly going to deny it; look at me.”
