Well, considering the case gained a lot of notoriety for its occurrence https://www.thesun.ie/news/1356927/irishman-paul-martin-jordan-who-is-charged-with-murdering-estranged-wife-in-wales-expected-to-face-trial-in-january/ https://www.irishpost.com/news/we-love-you-mam-irishman-54-charged-with-murder-of-his-wife-in-britain-as-children-pay-tribute-131227 and its verdict https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-north-west-wales-44757703 https://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/murder-trial-husband-charged-killing-14578590 and its seemingly now final twist. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-north-west-wales-44757703 http://www.thebangoraye.com/paul-jordan-found-dead-prison/ I figured it was worth a mention. Sounds more than local fodder because the imprisoned died six weeks into a sentence that should've seen him spend years behind bars for his crime. Additionally, we don't yet know the cause of death. But, I'm Canadian, so maybe I've no better insight than you in the British jurisprudence system.
