The electrical engineer from Euston, central London, killed his wife when the remote control struck a weak artery near her neck.

Gloria Laguna, 48, died from a massive brain haemorrhage as Harvey attempted to give her the kiss of life.

The court heard that Gloria suffered from a very rare condition that neither she or her spouse knew about.

“It would only have required a trivial incident to cause her death,” said Richard Whittam QC.
