UK: Alexa voice recordings helped bring him to justice
A serial domestic abuser has been jailed for life for murdering his wife – after Alexa voice recordings helped bring him to justice.
At the time of the murder, he was on licence from prison after receiving a 10-year extended sentence for rape and assault. Fearful of her husband, Mrs White had recently installed a mortis lock on her bedroom door, which White kicked in after an argument started on WhatsApp. William Hughes KC, prosecuting, said: “As a consequence, police have been able to discover that at 3.03am Angie in her bedroom said, ‘Alexa, volume three’. At 3.16am Daniel White’s voice can be heard saying, ‘Alexa stop’.
White previously admitted murder but refused to attend court for sentencing. Peter Rouch KC, defending, said: “What led to this occurring? Beyond what would appear from the messages of an argument – the marriage was effectively over and he was sleeping downstairs – the messages exchanged talk of belongings and not being allowed them.
