On Monday (December 15), Woolwich Crown Court concluded that Hai Van Nguyen, 42, of Hatfield Close, was guilty of killing his wife Hien Thi Vu on April 13.

The Metropolitan Police launched an investigation after the then-41-year-old walked into a police station and told officers he had stabbed his wife.
He was immediately arrested and charged the following day.
Hien was found in her bedroom with seven stab wounds, one of which caused fatal blood loss.
A bloodstained knife was found in a bedside drawer.
The court heard Nguyen believed she had been unfaithful and, in the hours before her death, forced her to open the TfL app to check her movements.
Detective Inspector Stephanie Dexter, who led the investigation, said: “This is a tragic case and our thoughts remain with the couple’s three children who are grieving for the sudden loss of their mother.
“Nguyen was a jealous man who carried out a brutal attack on his wife in their own home, the place she should have been safest.
“Our commitment to tackling violence against women and girls is unwavering and we would encourage victims to reach out to police or other support agencies to seek help.
“We will respond with sensitivity, and we will work with you to provide the appropriate support, whilst keeping you safe and dealing robustly with the perpetrator.”
Nguyen will be sentenced on Friday (December 19).
