Redhill man guilty of murdering wife after new evidence

Robert Rhodes, convicted of murdering his wife in 2016, manipulated their child to support a false defence; the retrial was granted after compelling new evidence emerged.

  • At an Inner London Crown Court retrial, Robert Rhodes, 52-year-old carpenter, was found guilty by a new jury after 22 hours' deliberation for killing Dawn Rhodes at their Redhill, Surrey home on June 2, 2016.
  • After the child changed their account in late 2021, the Court of Appeal quashed Rhodes's earlier acquittal and allowed a retrial under the double jeopardy rule.
  • The child described Rhodes asking on May 30 `Do you want to get rid of mummy?`, planning the attack together, distracting Dawn with a drawing, and Rhodes instructing the child to wound him.
