Man found guilty of murdering estranged wife

A WEALTHY landowner was found guilty yesterday of murdering his estranged wife, who has been missing for more than two years.

Retired teacher Kate Prout, 55, vanished from the £1.2 million (€1.37m) farm she shared with her husband Adrian Prout during acrimonious divorce proceedings.

Prout, 47, from Redmarley, Gloucestershire, was found guilty of her murder at Bristol Crown Court yesterday, even though a body has never been found.
