Adulterous husband thought he committed the perfect crime, he is unmasked 37 years later after a small mistake

Brenda Venables’ loved ones have been waiting 37 years to find out what happened to her. The facts date back to May 1982 when she no longer gave any sign of life. Aged 48, she shared her life with David Venables, a farmer. This Wednesday, July 20, it was sentenced to 18 years in prison after being found guilty of murdering his wife. As revealed by The Mirror, Brenda’s body was found in a septic tank at their home on July 12, 2019. Quickly suspected, the pig farmer had tried to put the blame on Fred West, the serial killer. He also explained that his wife may have “left the marital home after meeting another man“. According to his remarks, his wife had been depressed for several months and he had raised the possibility that she was or committed suicide by drowning in the septic tank. A hypothesis quickly put aside by the jury of Worcester Crown Court.

During the trial, Judge Justice Tipples assured not to believe the words of David Venables, explaining that he used the depression of his wife to create “a thoughtful story that she left in the middle of the night or even killed herself“, reports the tabloid. Determined to make it clear to the accused that she does not believe him, Justice Tipples then affirms: “You killed Brenda Venables in her own house, where she was resting with a broken leg and depression. You were her husband and she should have been able to trust you“. The fact that the body was deposited in a septic tank highlights “your disrespect for Brenda“, then specifies the judge who adds: “What you did to her body is disgusting and disgusting“. If David Venables mentioned a possible deception of his wife, Justice Tipples claims that Brenda Venables had consulted a psychiatrist to discuss his mental health concerns. In particular, she had specified that she no longer had sexual relations with her husband. During the searches at the time of his disappearance, the investigators had not been interested in the well.
