Truck driver Richard Satchwell (58) claimed to gardaí that his wife Tina attacked him with a chisel before he placed her body in a chest freezer and then buried it in a grave he excavated under the stairwell of their Cork home.
A Central Criminal Court murder trial was told Mr Satchwell, having placed Tina’s body in black sheeting and then into the shallow grave, covered it over with cement before reporting his wife as missing to the gardaí four days later.
