Ryan Timms, 44, from Hartshill, has been sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 19 years after being convicted of murdering his wife. The tragic incident occurred on July 31, 2023, when Timms claimed he found his wife hanging at their home. Despite efforts to revive her, she passed away four days later in the hospital.
However, inconsistencies in Timms’ account raised suspicions, leading to a thorough investigation. Evidence from a post-mortem examination contradicted the claim of hanging, suggesting that a neck hold was the likely cause of death. It was also found that Timms had moved his wife’s body in a manner inconsistent with his story, prompting further inquiry.
Through a detailed investigation and expert analysis, Timms was arrested on June 4, 2024, and later found guilty of murder. His sentence serves as a stark reminder of the deadly consequences of domestic abuse, which his wife had suffered in silence for years.
