MURDERER Russell Causley – who has never revealed where he hid his wife’s body – has been released from prison. Causley was given a life sentence for killing Carole Packman, who disappeared in 1985…
Causley got away with the murder until after he attempted to fake his own death in 1993 as part of a million pound insurance scam, for which he was given a two-year prison sentence.
The investigation into Mrs Packman's disappearance was reopened by police following a jail cell confession where Causley allegedly told of the “perfect'” murder of his "b***h wife". He was subsequently charged with murder and his landmark trial in 1996 saw him become one of the first people in the UK ever to be convicted of murder without a body being found.
The verdict was, however, quashed in 2003 but at a retrial a year later Causley was found guilty after his sister said she had heard him admit the killing. In 2016 Causley confessed to the murder and suggested he set fire to her body then said he buried her.
