A British man who strangled his wife and buried her body in a suitcase within a shallow grave after she discovered he was cheating with their teenage babysitter has walked free eight years into his 67-year prison sentence.
Alexander Clack, 40, battered Nixiann Downes-Clack and strangled her when she threatened to leave him after he had an affair with the couple's 17-year-old babysitter.
The former prison officer from London killed his wife on their fourth wedding anniversary in June 2014.
He buried her body in a small suitcase which was found in a shallow grave on the outskirts of St George's, the capital of Caribbean island Grenada, five days later.
Clack was sentenced to 67 years and six months in prison in February 2016, but he has now walked free after his lawyer argued that the loss of a court computer with a transcript of his murder trial had made it impossible to appeal the sentence.

Nixiann's aunt Kim Szmyglewska, 45, told The Sun: 'I’m horrified. How could they release someone on such a flimsy technicality when he is guilty of such evil and clearly a danger to women.
'Now he’s got away with murder and is heading this way.'
