The boss of a concrete firm who used chilli powder to incapacitate his wife before strangling her to death and staging the scene as a botched burglary has been jailed for life.
Gurpreet Singh was jailed for a minimum of 19 years today after he was convicted of murdering Sarbjit Kaur, 38, at their marital home in Wolverhampton in 2018.
A mystery accomplice, thought to be Singh s mistresss, has escaped justice as she remains unknown to this day.
Successful seamstress Ms Kaur was found lying on the floor covered in chilli powder inside a workshop attached to her home in February 2018.
A trial heard how Singh, 43, allowed his two children to discover their stepmother s body when they arrived home together at around 4pm.
