The 50-year-old then turned the 4cm-long knife on himself after a five-day manhunt led police to a houseboat, where he was hiding out.He appeared at the Old Bailey on Tuesday, where the jury took just two hours and 20 minutes to find him guilty of double murder.He admitted killing the pair, but had denied it was murder, claiming Ms Pickles' death was a"pure accident" and that Mr Ashmore had punched him in the head after he confessed to killing her.
