A CHEATING husband has been convicted of hiring a hitman to murder his wife 43 years ago.
Allen Morgan, 73, was found guilty yesterday at Luton Crown Court of conspiring to murder Carol Morgan, who was battered to death by an unknown killer in 1981.
He found the body of the 36-yearold in the storeroom of Morgan's Food Fare in Linslade, Leighton Buzzard, Beds, when he returned from the cinema in Luton, with Carol's children Dean, 14, and Jane, 12.
The prosecution said the trip gave Morgan a "cast-iron" alibi and allowed a paid hitman to murder and rob Carol.
