The jury has found Richard Satchwell guilty of murdering his wife Tina at their home in Youghal, Co Cork, in 2017.
After a trial lasting just over four weeks, the jury at the Central Criminal Court took almost nine and a half hours to find Satchwell guilty of murder.
The 58-year-old truck driver reported his wife missing in March 2017 and repeatedly lied to gardaí, journalists, family and friends, telling them he had come home from running errands to find she had left him, taking their savings of €26,000 with her.
It took more than six and a half years before gardaí discovered Tina had never left their home at Grattan Street in Youghal.
They found her skeletal remains buried under the stairs in the living room during a search of the house in October 2023.
The house had previously been searched in June 2017.
