A bit dodgy in my view. He would need quite a time to unpack the chute twist the lines, and repack.

I think if you try to kill someone by throwing them out of a plane without a working parachute at 1.2km above the ground - and they survive - then you may as well just give up. Not try to kill them another couple of times!!!

Thanks H. He would need to do the same with the reserve though.
Surely he would have been seen going to the toilet with two chutes.
I suspect she packed her own chute wrongly, and accused her husband.

I suspect she should have chosen a different husband.

I suspect she should have chosen a different husband.

Or a different hobby.

Another case of  a woman scorned ?

This highlights that inheritance killings are not just sons like Bamber, Blackwell, Benson & the Menendez brothers.

It can also be a simple husband killing a wife. Or vice versa.

[Steve_uk]

He's guilty.

[guest154]

His wife is either the second most unlucky person (After Jeremy Bamber), or he's guilty.

How did she manage to survive a 4000ft drop?

How did she manage to survive a 4000ft drop? 

I think the field had been freshly ploughed and there was still one thread of her parachute attached which must have given it some aerodynamic properties. Notwithstanding her injuries were horrendous.

[Adam]

I always believed if you landed in water from a great height you would survive.

This is incorrect which is why there are a lot of suicides off the Golden Gate Bridge.

How did she manage to survive a 4000ft drop? 

When I first heard that I thought she'd died,until I saw the rest of the news. Even if she had have died,there'd still have been no proof one way or the other.
