Ertan Ersoy, 51, stabbed Dr Antonella Castelvedere 'many times, causing 15 areas of sharp force injury' to her face, neck, upper chest and to both hands, prosecutor Christopher Paxton KC said.The defendant had suspected his wife was cheating on him, Chelmsford Crown Court was told, and he had previously placed a listening device in their home in Colchester.
He had pleaded guilty to manslaughter and claimed in his defence he was suffering from an abnormality of mental functioning at the time, but this was rejected by jurors. In a statement released through police, the family of Dr Castelvedere expressed their thanks for the "respect shown towards Antonella". They said this was "respect that Antonella did not have from her husband".
