Debt-Ridden Mortgage Broker Found Guilty of Murdering Wife for Life Insurance Payout

Robert Hammond, facing £300,000 in debt, strangled his wife Sian after reinstating her £450,000 life insurance policy days earlier.

Hammond's financial troubles included debts to HMRC and Legal & General.
He called police claiming to have found his wife unresponsive, but evidence contradicted his story.
A post-mortem revealed Sian Hammond died from neck compression and other injuries.
Hammond's deceit included fabricating illnesses and delaying debt payments.
Sentencing is scheduled for July 23, with Hammond found guilty by unanimous verdict.
