Harry Jarvis hid the body just metres away from where his millionaire mistress slept in a shed.
A new documentary series has told how a West Lothian killer hid his wife's body under floorboards of their home.
In 2000, a degenerative muscle condition saw Carol, then 38, become wheelchair-bound, after which Jarvis became her full-time carer. But before long, he began having affairs with other women and met Rita Heyster. As reported by Grimsby Live, Heyster "needed a roof over her head" after squandering her £2.5m fortune. Jarvis, who was born in Grimsby, fitted out the garden shed with a mattress for her to live in, while Carol was bedbound just four feet away inside the house.
Twisted Jarvis and Heyster hatched a plan to poison and murder Carol - who had become an "inconvenience" - to allow them to be together. In a sick letter to Heyster, Jarvis wrote: "Drugs are doing job just took longer than I thought. But going fast now. See you in paradise soon. Carol is dying as I write. Then we have house to ourselves and sell all in it to move on."
