It looked like a tragic car crash - but four years after she died, her husband has been jailed for her death.
Edward Lord is led from a prison truck into the Supreme Court for a sentence hearing over the death of his wife, Michele Lord. Picture: John GraingerLord had moved her into the couple’s home as a maid in 2015, telling his wife Ms Fong could help with housework.In the NSW Supreme Court today, Justice Ian Harrison jailed Lord for 10 years and eight months, with a non-parole period of eight years.
Ms Lord, 57, was clinging to life. She was able to be revived but died two days later, on October 20, 2015, in hospital without ever waking up. As her family and friends mourned, police began to quietly investigate the cause of the crash and probed the couple’s marriage. “To learn that her husband, a man we all knew, and considered to be a part of our family, was complicit in Michele’s passing, has made this entire ordeal such an overwhelming and confronting tragedy.”
