Jealous husband who decapitated wife and flushed her head down the toilet is jailed for minimum 21 years Read

DEMPSEY Nibbs, 69, became enraged after wife Judith admitted she had been having sex with at least eight other men.

A JEALOUS husband who beheaded his wife of 30 years and flushed her severed head down the toilet in an act of "grotesque savagery" will die behind bars.

Dempsey Nibbs, 69, became enraged after vivacious and caring Meals On Wheels worker Judith Nibbs, 60, taunted him as their relationship fell apart by saying she had been seeing other men.

The cancer sufferer claimed he had acted in self defence, but a jury found Nibbs guilty of murder following an Old Bailey trial.

His lawyer Ian Henderson QC told the court that his client acknowledged that his ill health meant he would die in jail.

The Recorder of London Nicholas Hilliard QC jailed Nibbs for life with a minimum of 21 years.

He told him: "I'm sure you don't regret your wife's death save for its effect on your own comfort and well-being."
