A retired pig farmer has been found guilty of murdering his wife, whose body was found hidden in a septic tank 37 years after she disappeared.
But the jury of seven women and five men deliberated for almost 17 hours over four days before convicting Venables of murdering his wife on either May 3 or May 4, 1982. ‘He wanted her out of the way – he wanted to resume his long-standing affair with another woman, Lorraine Styles. He knew about the septic tank in its secluded location. It was for him almost the perfect hiding place.
Venables, described by one witness at the trial as a smartly-dressed ‘typical gentleman farmer’, told the jury he woke up on the morning of May 4, 1982, to find his wife, then aged 48, had disappeared.Following the murder, the court heard, Venables appeared calm to those who knew him. Worcester Crown Court was told the pensioner informed police after his arrest in 2019 that he believed West may have killed Brenda, who had been diagnosed with depression.
