Mohamed Samak: Ex-international hockey player who claimed wife stabbed herself to death jailed for her murder

Mohamed Samak was convicted after a retrial where evidence disproved his claim that his wife self-inflicted fatal stab wounds, with the jury delivering a unanimous verdict.

  • Egyptian national Mohamed Samak, 43, killed his wife Joanne Samak at their home in Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire, on 1 July 2024, despite initially claiming she stabbed herself.
  • Samak was found guilty of murder and jailed for life after prosecutors argued he brutally killed his wife due to interest in another woman and financial problems.
  • The judge described Samak's lies as a 'wicked story' and said he could not accept Samak was remorseful since he still denied accountability.
