Man killed wife in ‘overcooked’ dinner row

A TELEVISION location manager who killed his wife during an argument after complaining that she had overcooked his birthday dinner was convicted of manslaughter yesterday.

A jury at Warwick Crown Court took two hours and 22 minutes to find Jonathan Wicks guilty of killing his wife Sarah during a row following a dinner party.

A four-day trial heard that Sarah Wicks, 49, died after suffering a ruptured artery in her neck on May 3 last year at her marital home in Stourton, south Warwickshire.
