Nisha Patel-Nasri was stabbed to death in 2006
The husband of a special police constable who was stabbed to death has denied arranging her murder in order to receive a life insurance pay-out.

Fadi Nasri, 34, is accused of plotting his wife's murder to pay off accumulated debts with the £350,000 life insurance payment and because he had been having an affair with a prostitute.

Nisha Patel-Nasri, 29, was stabbed to death at her home in Sudbury Avenue, north-west London, in May 2006.

Mr Nasri and three other men deny the charges of murder being brought against them.

At the trial at the Old Bailey today Mr Nasri admitted he had been begun having an affair with a Lithuanian prostitute, Laura Mockiene, three months before his wife was stabbed.

However, he denied knowing that Ms Mockiene had been pregnant at the time his wife was killed and rejected allegations that the affair was connected to her death.

Mr Nasri also denied that he had accumulated considerable debts and claimed he loved his wife "very much".

Rodger Leslie, 38, of Chesterfield Flats, Barnet, Tony Emmanuel, 42, of Clements Road, East Ham, and Jason Jones, 36, of Hathaway Crescent, east London, all deny murdering Mrs Patel-Nasri.End of story
