Mar 2 2010

A jealous lover has been found guilty of murdering his neighbour on a remote island after he started a relationship with a former flame.

Robert Rose, from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, was battered at his home last June after he moved to Sanday in Orkney. His body was found in sand dunes at Sty Wick more than two weeks later.

The trial heard father-of-three Mr Rose had started a relationship with Margaret Johnston, the ex-partner of John Campbell.
