Court told of wife's killing

AN estranged husband murdered his wealthy wife and buried her body on the Queen's Windsor Estate after their "bitterly contested" divorce descended into acrimony over a pre-nuptial agreement, a court heard.

Robert Brown, 47, from Edinburgh but living in Berkshire, felt he had been "stitched up" by the marriage contract which he signed when he married Joanna in January 1999, Reading Crown Court heard.

After convincing himself that the 46-year-old had deliberately concealed the extent of her finances, the British Airways pilot attacked her last year, before placing her in a grave in a remote spot, the court heard.

Brown denies murder. The trial continues.
