The estranged husband of missing northern NSW woman Sharon Edwards has been sentenced to 24 years jail for her murder.
Justice Robert Hulme told the court John Edwards' motive for killing his wife of 33 years was clear — he could not accept that she wanted to move on with her rekindled love, Billy Mills, with whom she had an affair with earlier in their marriage.
When Mrs Edwards and Mr Mills returned to her Grafton home that night, they discovered Edwards' ute in the garage, prompting Mrs Edwards to take Mr Mills back to his friend's house.
