0
Iain Lawrence has been found guilty of murdering his estranged wife in a car crash and jailed for a minimum of 24 years. The 53-year-old denied deliberately driving his Peugeot 406 estate car into a tree, causing the death of his wife, Sally – but today a jury at Leicester Crown Court returned a guilty verdict following a two and a half week trial.
Speaking on behalf of Sally's family, her sister Catherine Kudhail said: "Our family is here today because of the cruel, callous, evil and sickening act of murder against "Our beautiful Sally." On the day Sally died a part of us died with her. "Our family feels a huge sense of relief at the guilty verdict the jury has delivered in this trial. "Sally's murder was an act of pure evil. She was an inspirational, caring, kind young woman with a huge heart. She was so full of life. Losing her has been unbearable, not a day goes by without her being in our thoughts. She has been taken from us at the most happiest point in her life and has been denied what was undoubtedly to be a very happy future. "We would like to convey our heartfelt thanks to Detective Superintendent Neil Castle, Detective Sergeant Kevin Burdett and Detective Constable Dawn Watts and their team from Leicestershire police and Crown Prosecutor Nirmal Shant for their dedication and tireless work to bring this case to court. "Thank you also to the witnesses who came forward to give evidence in very distressing circumstances. "We would like to extend our gratitude to the jury, who have seen through the lies and deceit of Iain Lawrence in his attempt to minimise his responsibility for the brutal murder of Sally. They have played a huge part in finally enabling this murderer to be held to account for taking our daughter, sister and friend from us and for taking a mother from her three children."
