Life for businessman who hired hitmen to kill pregnant wife

A businessman who hired two hitmen to kill his heavily pregnant wife was jailed for life yesterday for conspiracy to murder.

David Cullinane, 34, left Moroccan-born Soumia, 27, in the hands of two men at a Kent railway station after becoming convinced she was having another man's child.

Mrs Cullinane's body was found "considerably disfigured" with serious head and neck injuries in Dene Park, near Tonbridge, Kent, on March 16 last year, Croydon Crown Court was told.
