A man who reportedly murdered his wife after she found out about his affairs is now getting his jail sentence reduced.
According to local media outlets, the man who hails from the UK strangled and battered his partner named Nixiann Downes-Clack, until he was sure that she was dead.
He then opted to dump her remains inside a giant suitcase, right before discarding it in an undisclosed location, which was later revealed to be a shallow grave.
The court found him guilty of the horrifying act and sentenced him to prison. But now, hearing more about his sentence getting reduced by eight years has made the loved ones of the victim furious.
40-year-old Alexander Clack was reportedly having an affair with the couple’s teenage babysitter and that was not something that the wife was willing to tolerate. But Clack thought that it was best that he took her life before she opened her mouth.
The former prison officer who hails from London reportedly took his wife’s life on the couple’s fourth anniversary as loved ones mourn the death of a loving woman who did everything right for her marriage to work.
In February 2016, the accused was sentenced to 67 years in jail but now, he has managed to walk out free. It’s all thanks to his lawyer who fought for him by stating that there was a loss of a court computer that reportedly contained the transcript of his murder trial.
According to him, that is what ended up making it literally impossible for him to stage an appeal on the matter.
