Husband guilty for third time

A BRITISH man was last night convicted for the third time of killing his wife, whose decomposed body was found in a French lake almost two years after she disappeared.

The remains of Evelyn Lund were discovered in her car in Lake Bancalie in southern France some 22 months after she went missing from the farmhouse she shared with her second husband Robert Lund in 1999.

Lund, originally from Lancashire, had already been convicted twice in connection with her death. He appealed on a legal point and was again found guilty of a crime akin to manslaughter and sentenced to 12 years in prison.
