Wicked Man Butcher Wife To Death, Bury Her Corpse In Garden In Order To Start New Life With Mistress

The suspect, Nigel Jackson

A court has heard how a property manager butchered his wife to death and buried her in their back garden as part of an evil plan to swap her for his secret lover, Dailystar reports. The heartless man named Nigel Jackson, 60, was found guilty of murdering mum-of-four, Brenda Davidson, 72, after a two-day trial at a court in the Algarve resort of Portimao. He was also convicted of other crimes including credit card fraud and theft for selling her jewellery and using her bank cards after killing her and moving his Portuguese mistress, Vanessa Milheiro, 42, into their remote country cottage. He has been handed a maximum 25 years in jail after hearing the guilty verdicts.

The details of the crime said Jackson, originally from Gravesend, Kent, beat Brenda round the head repeatedly and stabbed her in the face and neck before burying her inside plastic sheeting in a shallow cement grave he covered with artificial grass. The evil man then covered up the hideous crime by telling friends she was in England for medical treatment and her family that she was in Germany with a new partner. The murder happened in November 2014. 

Shocked and worried relatives were later told about the horrifying murder after police found Brenda's body in their expat home near the village of Alcalar, a 15-minute drive from the coast on January 6 last year.

the victim, Brenda

Brenda's sons, Daryl, 50, Dean, 49 and her twin daughters, Debi and Drynda were in court along with Daryl's 26-year-old daughter, Danielle. There was no sign of Jackson's mistress, who attended the first day of the trial in December.

Jackson admitted to burying Brenda, his common-law wife, but claimed he returned home to find her dead and assumed she had committed suicide following a long battle with cancer. He told the court when he took the witness stand at the start of the trial that he buried her in their garden to fulfill her wish of being buried next to one of her dogs. He claimed he wrapped her in sheets and blankets because she was cold and said he left it for "40 days and 40 nights" to tell police because as a Quaker, he believed her spirit would remain in the grave for that time.

Brenda's son, Dean, speaking outside court, said: "Jackson fabricated stories and made things up as he went along. "Maybe one day, he will tell us the truth but I don't think so. "Twenty-five years is unbelievable and the maximum he could get so I can't ask for anymore, but it's not going to bring my mum back. "We're going to go out now for a family meal and try to reflect on everything and take in everything."

Her daughter, Debi added: "He's ruined every single one of our lives."

Jackson was sentenced to 22 years for Brenda's murder, one year 10 months for desecration of her corpse, two years for theft, two years for two counts of credit card fraud and two years for computer fraud.

The total was commuted to 25 years, the maximum jail sentence under Portuguese law. His defence lawyer, Rogerio Reis said he would consider an appeal.
