Husband 'battered his wife to death with a dumbbell after private investigators uncovered her affair by fitting tracking device to her car'

A jealous husband battered his wife to death with a metal dumbbell after he hired private detectives and found out she was having an affair, a court heard. Nirmal Gill, 49, is accused of murdering wife Rosemary, 48, after becoming ‘possessive’ and suspicious of her behaviour. He contracted private investigators who fitted a tracking device to Mrs Gill’s car, a jury heard. Gill then followed his wife and spotted her embracing her ex-husband during a secret meeting at a motorway service station, the court was told. He is accused of carrying out the fatal attack three days later, using a metal dumbbell to strike his wife in the head at least 12 times at their home.

Mrs Gill’s naked and bloodied body was discovered eight hours later by the couple’s daughter, Jasmine, 19, who had been sleeping in the room next door. Michael Fitton QC, prosecuting, told the jury that Gill admits manslaughter due to a loss of control, but denies murder. But he argued: ‘He didn’t lose control of himself when he beat her to death – he knew what he was doing. He was killing her in revenge for what he had discovered about her behaviour because she had been unfaithful. ‘He was killing her because he was a jealous man who was never going to forgive her, not just for the affair but for lying to him. She paid for her affair with her life.’
