DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — A British newspaper editor in Dubai was found guilty Sunday of bludgeoning his wife to death with a hammer and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. A brother of Matthew’s wife, who was in court for the verdict, expressed disappointment. There, they say they found his wife of over 30 years dead, and the editor told them robbers had broken into the home and killed her. During a later interrogation, however, police say Matthew told them his wife had grown angry with him because they were in debt and needed to move. Gulf News previously has said Matthew served as its editor from 1995-2005 and then became an editor-at-large at the newspaper.
