Hubby convicted of murdering wife after she left him for Facebook pal
When an old school boyfriend got in touch with Sheila Thomas via Facebook, she hit “Like.”
But it was her estranged husband who defriended her in the most grisly manner.
David Thomas, 74, was convicted of murder in the stabbing and bludgeoning slaying of his wife of 50 years in their South London home.
A British court heard that Sheila Thomas had gone to their home to collect some of her belongings when her estranged husband exploded in a rage.
The trouble began a month before when Victor Cassar — a man she had enjoyed a brief fling with in 1975 — reconnected with her via Facebook.
“When the defendant discovered the relationship between Mrs. Thomas and Mr. Cassar, she moved out of the family home at the defendant’s insistence and moved in with Mr. Cassar,” Prosecutor Brian O’Neill said.
“Mrs. Thomas was to tell Victor Cassar that life with the defendant had ‘been hell’ and that she had been unhappy in her marriage for 40 years.”
He added: “When her sons and daughters asked their mother why she had left their father, she said similar things to them.”
But Sheila Thomas had found new love.
Title says it all..
