A man has been jailed for life for stabbing his wife to death over a posting she made on the social networking site Facebook.
Wayne Forrester, 34, told police he was devastated that his wife Emma, 34, had changed her online profile to "single" days after he had moved out.
The Old Bailey heard Forrester drove to the marital home in New Addington, south London, and attacked his wife.
He stabbed her with a kitchen knife and a meat cleaver on 18 February.
Forrester, who pleaded guilty to murder, was jailed for 14 years.
Judge Brian Barker, the Common Serjeant of London, told him: "You committed a terrible act. There is no possible excuse or justification.
"This is a tragic killing and what you have done has caused untold anguish."

Forrester's statement to police

Forrester, an HGV driver, was drunk and high on cocaine when he attacked his wife in the early hours as she slept.
He beat her, tore out clumps of her hair, and repeatedly stabbed her in the head and neck.
Neighbours found him sitting outside the house covered in blood and called the police.
The court heard Forrester thought his wife, a payroll administrator, was having an affair and had threatened to kill her.
In a statement to police Forrester said: "Emma and I had just split up. She forced me out.
"She then posted messages on an internet website telling everyone she had left me and was looking to meet other men.
"I loved Emma and felt totally devastated and humiliated about what she had done to me."
Mrs Forrester's relatives were present in court when her husband admitted her murder at an earlier hearing. (from BBC news)
