Fadi Nasri: found guilty organising wife's killing

Patel-Nasri (29) bled to death on the doorstep of her Wembley home in northwest London after being stabbed with her own kitchen knife in May 2006.

Her husband Fadi Nasri (34) had hired a gang of men to kill her, shortly after his wife had taken out a £350,000 life insurance policy.

Nasri was found guilty of her murder by the jury after 26 hours of deliberations.

Two accomplices were also found guilty of her murder while a third was cleared after the three month trial.

The gang will be sentenced later next month.
