British newspaper editor Francis Matthew was found guilty in the Emirate of killing his 62-year-old wife Jane Matthew with a hammer on July 4 last year. The former editor of the English-language Gulf News had faced the possibility of the death penalty for the killing. After the incident in the couple’s three-bedroom villa in the Jumeirah neighbourhood, Matthew told police robbers had broken in and killed his wife of 30 years.
