A MUSIC teacher who carried on an affair with his lover after murdering his fiancée has been jailed for life.

Andrew Lindo, 29, who led a double life dating a string of women, strangled, battered and stabbed Marie Stewart to death before storing her body in a flight bag in the garage of their home in Holmfirth, West Yorkshire.

Hours later, Lindo put their two children in his car and went to collect his latest lover, Angela Rylance, then spent the night with her in the bedroom where the murder took place.
