BOURNEMOUTH MAN JAILED FOR LIFE FOR KILLING SECOND WIFE
A bigamist has been jailed for life after murdering his second wife and hiding her body in a car boot.
Pierre Legris, 61, bludgeoned Rui Li, to death at their home in May 2014.
Winchester Crown Court heard the couple were swingers who ran a "sexual massage" service and the murder was financially motivated.
Legris was given a 25-year minimum term.
Legris's racing driver son Jonathan, 27, and other wife Irene Smith, 66, were acquitted of conspiracy to murder.
Jonathan Legris, of Spring Road, Bournemouth - who was a contemporary of Lewis Hamilton during the early stages of their careers - was sentenced to two years in jail after he was found guilty of assisting an offender.
Smith, 66, was sentenced to three years in prison after being found guilty of assisting an offender and perverting the course of justice.
Before the start of the trial, French national Legris admitted an offence of bigamy in marrying Ms Li in 2007, despite being married to Smith since 1987.
