Peter Nash jailed for murdering wife and daughter
A man has been jailed for a minimum of 40 years for murdering his wife and daughter, after finding out his wife planned to leave him.
His trial heard that Mark Leamey, whom Mrs Nash was having a relationship with, became worried when he could not contact her late on 7 September and on the morning of 8 September. Prosecutor David Josse KC said Nash "calmly and chillingly" admitted the killings and tried to justify it as punishment for his wife's infidelity, and that his daughter was his "property".
At sentencing on Wednesday, Mr Justice Edward Murray said the defendant seemed to "feel no remorse" and "attempted to justify these murders with relation to a deeply flawed set of beliefs about the law that you've got from internet searches".
