Gardener Jean-Louis Cayrou, aged 54, has been jailed for 30 years after he was found guilty of the premeditated murder of his British expat lover Patricia Wilson, aged 58, at her rural French home in 2012 following a trial at the Cour d'Assises de l'Aveyron in Rodez, south France.

Patricia Wilson vanished from her house near the village of Vabre-Tizac in the south of France in August 2012 and her body has never been found.
