Husband hacked wife to death with meat cleaver after she changed Facebook status to single

A husband who hacked his wife to death with a meat cleaver in fury  over her Facebook entry was jailed for a minimum of 14 years at the Old Bailey today. Wayne Forrester, 34, drank alcohol and took cocaine  before driving 15 miles to the family home to attack wife Emma as she lay in bed. The couple had separated four days before the murder in  February and Forrester later told police he had been provoked by his wife changing her marital status to "single" on her Facebook entry,  the court heard. Forrester, a HGV driver, admitted murder in February this year in New Addington, near Croydon.

Emma was found in a pool of blood after neighbors were woken at  6.30am by her screams. Near her body was a large kitchen knife and in  another room a blood-soaked meat cleaver.

Jailing him for life, the Common Serjeant of London Brian Barker QC  said: "Your wife ended the relationship. Your reaction was one of  anger and resentment.

"There is no possible excuse or justification.

"This is a tragic killing of a young woman and what you have done has  called untold anguish."

The court heard that the Forresters had a "volatile and unstable  marriage characterized by periods of separation and reconciliation".

Alex Lewis, prosecuting, said that while Forrester was in and out of  work and cared little for family life, his wife took two jobs to make ends meet.

Her parents supported the pair financially and moved home closer to  them to help their daughter.

Four days before the murder Forrester moved out of the family home to  stay with his sister in Paddington. He repeatedly called home and  threatened to kill her.

Ms Lewis said: "He was angry about an entry on Facebook he said made  him look like a fool as she had advertised her marital status as  single. He accused her of having an affair."

Forrester drove to Croydon armed with the knife and meat cleaver and  forced the front door open. After neighbours called 999 he emerged  from the house covered in blood and holding a carton of juice.

When the police arrived he held his arms out for handcuffs and told  them: "Who called you? My wife is in there. I killed her."

Inside the house they found Mrs Forrester's body with a large wound  in her neck. Two banister rails had been broken off and there were  clumps of long brown hair outside the bedroom.

She had multiple wounds to her neck and head and defense wounds to  her arms showing she had fought to ward off the blows.

Forrester later handed detectives a prepared statement in which he  said: "She forced me out of the family home and posted messages on  the internet website telling everybody she had left me and was  interested in meeting other men."

He went on: "The whole incident seemed a blur. I felt I was watching  somebody else attacking Emma."

In an impact statement the victim's sister Eliza Rothery said the  family had been devastated by the murder.

Peter Dahlsen, defending, said Forrester felt "a deeply held remorse."
