Twenty-eight years after he dumped her body in Coniston Water in Cumbria, Gordon Park was yesterday found guilty of the brutal murder of his wife Carol, who became known as the Lady in the Lake.

The teacher bludgeoned his young wife to death with a climber's ice axe and weighted her body, dumping it in the eastern part of the lake. He concealed her remains, dressed in a babydoll nightdress, in a bag which he meticulously stitched from one of her pinafore dresses. She lay hidden for 21 years, until amateur divers stumbled upon the grim package in 1997.
