A British professional poker player has been jailed for 20 years for killing his wife in America in the "heat of passion".
Marcus Bebb-Jones had denied killing his wife Sabrina in 1997, but pleaded guilty earlier this year under an agreement that meant he avoided a trial on a first-degree murder charge.
The couple were running the Melrose Hotel in Grand Junction, Colorado, when Mrs Bebb-Jones disappeared in September 1997.
Her skull was found in 2004 in a national park near Douglas Pass in north-west Colorado.
Bebb-Jones was arrested at his home in Kidderminster in Worcestershire in 2009 amid accusations he went on to spend thousands of dollars on her credit cards before botching a suicide bid.
The 49-year-old lost his appeal against extradition to the US in 2011 and was due to stand trial.
He pleaded guilty at a hearing in the 9th Judicial District Court in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, in February.
District Attorney Sherry Caloia said he made a plea bargain, admitting murder in the second degree, in exchange for a sentence of no more than 20 years.
