A man who killed his wife and kept her body hidden for years under the stairs of their County Cork home has been sentenced to life in prison.<\/p>\n

Tina Satchwell, who was 45, was killed by Richard Satchwell in March 2017.<\/p>\n

The trial lasted almost five weeks, and the jury at the Central Criminal Court took just under ten hours to find Satchwell guilty of murder last week.<\/p>\n

The judge heard victim impact statements from Tina Satchwell’s family before imposing the mandatory life sentence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
