Wife killer pays back €220k damages — at €50 a month

He has made three transfers totalling just €150 to a Spanish court from his prison account despite being ordered to pay up €220,000 in compensation and thousands more in court costs when he was sentenced nearly four years ago ahead of a string of appeals.
