The man who stabbed his estranged wife to death after she changed her Facebook status to 'single'

A father stabbed his estranged wife to death in a 'frenzied attack' after discovering she had changed her Facebook status to 'single'.

Edward Richardson, 41, was high on a cocktail of cocaine and alcohol when he smashed his way into her parents' home and used a carving knife to kill 26-year-old Sarah Richardson as she lay in bed. The carpenter stabbed his wife with such force he shattered her ribs.

She also suffered puncture wounds to her liver and a slashed aorta. The couple had separated three weeks before the murder after arguments about the amount of money being spent on cocaine and the father-of-two Richardson's refusal to have children with Sarah.

Mrs Richardson had earlier told him she wanted to leave him for an old friend she had got in touch with through Facebook. He had phoned his wife's friend, Graham Walker, in England, on the day of the murder and told him: 'You are going to feel like I feel in a couple of hours' time.' 

Mr Walker was said to have been distressed by the call and contacted the Richardsons' eldest daughter, Joanne Greenhill.

The couple who got divorce after the husband was caught banging virtual prostitute in Second Life

A British couple who married in a lavish Second Life wedding ceremony is getting divorced after one of them had an alleged "affair" in the online world.

Amy Taylor, 28, caught husband David Pollard, 40, having sex with an animated prostitute. The couple, who met in an Internet chatroom in 2003, are now separated.

Second Life allows users to create alter egos known as "avatars" and interact with other players, forming relationships, holding down jobs and trading products and services for a virtual currency convertible into real life dollars. The couple's real-life wedding in 2005 was eclipsed by a fairy tale ceremony held within Second Life. But Taylor had subsequently hired an online private detective to track his activities: "He never did anything in real life, but I had my suspicions about what he was doing in Second Life.

" Pollard admitted having an online relationship with a "girl in America" but denied wrongdoing. "We weren't even having cyber sex or anything like that, we were just chatting and hanging out together." Taylor is now in a new relationship with a man she met in the online roleplaying game World of Warcraft.

Lynn France, a wife who suspected her husband was having an affair, found he was actually married 

One imageto another woman through a simple Facebook search. All she had to do was type in the name of the woman she believed her husband, John, was seeing.

The pair had been married at Disney World, no less, with France's husband dressed as Prince Charming, and his new bride as Sleeping Beauty. There was like an album of 200 pictures there. Their whole wedding. She had grown suspicious when her husband began taking frequent business trips, even leaving the day the couple's newborn son came home from the hospital.

Once, she found his passport at home when he was supposed to be in China for business. She once caught her husband with another woman in a hotel so a girlfriend recommended checking the woman's Facebook page, where France found further evidence of the relationship and confronted her husband once more.

She claims he promised he would not go through with the wedding – but it wasn't until she saw that he had, that she finally began divorce proceedings. Her husband took her children and left her without an explanation. She has not seen her sons since, who are now living with their father and his new wife in Florida. Ironically, the only glimpses of her sons now come from the Facebook page where she found his new wedding pictures.
