Alireza Askari, 42, was sentenced to a minimum of 26 years in prison for the murder of his ex-wife, Paria Veisi, 37, in Penylan, Cardiff in April of last year. Askari killed Veisi at their former shared home after she had moved out earlier that month. He then buried her body in a makeshift grave in the garden, concealing it with patio slabs, soil, and plants. The murder came to light after a friend reported Veisi missing to the police. Askari's aunt, Maryam Delavary, 48, was also jailed for five years and six months for assisting in covering up the murder. Evidence showed Askari had planned the murder and purchased items like knives, bleach, and caustic soda to destroy evidence.
