Dentist gets 21 years for double murder - mirror.co.uk

Dentist gets 21 years for double murder - mirror.co.uk: "Colin Howell admitted murdering his wife Lesley, 31, mum of their four ­children, and PC Trevor Buchanan, 32, husband of Hazel Buchanan, with whom he was having an affair, almost 20 years ago. He was sentenced to life ­imprisonment last month.
Howell, 51, of Castlerock, Co Derry, Northern Ireland, disguised the murders as suicides. He gassed both victims with car fumes while they slept in May 1991, Belfast crown court heard.
Judge Anthony Hart said: “These were truly heinous crimes, cold-blooded, carefully planned and ruthlessly executed. Even when each victim stirred in their sleep, Howell did not draw back, but subdued their faint signs of consciousness.”"
