Man found guilty of murdering his wife in rare retrial
A 52-year-old carpenter from Surrey has been found guilty of murdering his wife in a rare retrial, eight years after being acquitted.
Robert Rhodes killed his estranged wife, Dawn Rhodes, by slitting her throat with a knife at their family home in Redhill, Surrey, in June 2016.
He was previously found not guilty after a trial at the Old Bailey in 2017, where he convinced jurors that he had acted in self-defence during an argument.
It has since emerged that this was a "cover-up", after the couple's child came forward with new evidence that Rhodes killed Ms Rhodes, and they were involved in the murder too.
