A husband bludgeoned his wife to death with an ornamental elephant after she asked him for a divorce, a court heard.
Devendra Singh, 33, is accused of killing Charlotte Smith, 42, in a brutal attack on September 3 last year.
Stafford Crown Court heard Singh flew into a rage and battered his wife of three years with the 4lb wooden object following an argument at their home.
Singh rained down blows with 'extreme force and extreme violence', and Charlotte's skull was repeatedly 'smashed and shattered', with the level of violence used described as 'off the scale', jurors were told.
Singh admits killing his wife but denies murder on the basis he suffered a 'loss of control'.
