A "woman beater" who stabbed his wife and bludgeoned her with hammer before setting her body alight has been jailed for 22 years.

Sinead Wooding, 26, was found dumped in woodland outside Leeds on 14 May.

Akshar Ali, 27, stabbed the mother-of-four six times alongside accomplice Yasmin Ahmed, who was also jailed for 22 years.

The investigating officer said it "was the most horrific and brutal attack" he had seen in almost three decades.

The pair had denied murder but were convicted after a trial at Leeds Crown Court.
