Robin Garbutt calls 999 after murdering wife

Robin Garbutt killed his wife by hitting her three times on the head with a metal bar. However, he tried to convince the police that there had been another man who threatened him with a gun. He called 999 to try to avoid being suspected and convicted for the murder.

Garbutt, 45, has been convicted of Diana Garbutt’s murder at their home above their shop on 23 March 2010 following a four week trial at Teesside Crown Court.

He was sentenced to life imprisonment and will serve a minimum of 20 years before being considered for parole.

It’s ridiculous that this man slaughtered his wife and tries to get away with it by telling a fake story to the police. His wife had been unfaithful, but that’s not a reason to kill her. He is such a coward, calling 999 after murdering his wife. I think it is right that he has been sentenced to life imprisonment. That way, he can think about what he did. He will have to go through the torture his conscious will put him through. That will be the only justice done.
