A husband who stabbed his wife to death and was found by police checking his neighbour's CCTV to see if he had been spotted has been jailed for life.
Kashish Aggarwal, 28, brutally attacked Geetika Goyal, 29, at their home in Leicester before wrapping her body in plastic on March 3 this year.
He then travelled for half a mile to a residential cul-de-sac where he disposed of her remains on the pavement and drove back home.
Leicester Crown Court heard Aggarwal tried to cover his tracks by making calls to his wife's phone and to family and friends acting as a worried husband.
He claimed he had not seen his wife since arriving home from work that evening which led to Mrs Goyal's brother reporting her missing just after 9pm.
Officers attended the family home and found Aggarwal at a neighbouring property checking their CCTV.
Police then received a call from a member of the public at 2.25am the following morning reporting a woman was lying on the pavement in Uppingham Close.
Aggarwal was today jailed for life to serve a minimum of 20 years and six months after he previously pleaded guilty to murder at Leicester Crown Court.

He claimed it was around an hour later that he realised he had not seen his wife and so started making calls to relatives and friends.
But a search inside the home uncovered traces of blood in the dining room and garage while CCTV enquiries also showed him driving Mrs Goyal's car to deposit her body.

This included CCTV of Aggarwal turning the car around in the driveway at the home during the evening so that the vehicle boot was facing the property.
He was then seen to drive the car away at 8.14pm, arriving in Uppingham Close at 8.17pm, where he dumped his wife's body.
He then arrived back at the family home at 8.21pm and blood was also found in the vehicle.
After the case, her family said in a heartbreaking statement: 'Geetika was our lovely daughter, sister and auntie. As a family we always called her 'Geetu'.
