A City banker has been jailed for eight years after being found guilty of killing his wife in a row at their north London home.
Neil Ellerberk had previously denied strangling his wife Katherine last year.
During his trial at the Old Bailey the jury heard how the 46-year-old HSBC banker was "obsessively jealous" of his wife having discovered she was being unfaithful.
Ellerbeck, who was also having an affair, eventually killed his wife during an argument at their home.
The jury found him guilty of manslaughter but cleared him of murder. He was today sentenced to eight years behind bars.
