Robert Alexander, 66, was ‘motivated by money’ and his determination to stop his wife leaving him when he stabbed her to death at their home in Tamworth, a court heard
Robert Alexander has been found guilty
A man who stabbed a woman 78 times before telling police “I’ve disposed of my wife” has been convicted of her murder.
Robert Alexander, 66, was motivated by money when he killed nurse Christina Alexander at their home in Dosthill in Tamworth in June 2025, a court heard.
Mrs Alexander, 60, was repeatedly stabbed in the face, neck, body, arms and legs, leaving her with “catastrophic” injuries.
The trial at Stafford Crown Court heard that the defendant had been threatening and violent to his wife on a number of occasions, but tried to convince the jury he had acted in self-defence.
Alexander admitted he had changed his clothes after the killing, put the bins out, and sat in the lounge with his dogs before calling 999.
