In a chilling case that has gripped the nation, former Wales under-18s hockey coach Mohamed Samak has been found guilty of murdering his wife, Joanne Samak. The conviction comes despite Mohamed’s insistence that Joanne had tragically taken her own life by stabbing herself.

The dramatic trial unfolded at Worcester Crown Court where Mohamed painted a disturbing scene, claiming he woke up in the early hours of July 1 last year to find Joanne with a knife, causing her own injuries. However, the jury was not swayed by his account.
