And losing a child is so incredibly painful. I lost my oldest son 4 years ago just 3 days before his 54th birthday…he was also born in 1965. So smart, such a wonderful person. My son’s name was also Richard….James Richard. He worked his way through college, became a CPA immediately after college. His death is still an open homicide investigation. He owned his own accounting firm in Allen, Texas. I miss him so very, very much.

Could we have some warm words of thanks for all the members of the public, who were not afraid to speak up or get involved. You don't find that often enough. Bless all of you and all the victims of this tragedy.

Poor Collette murdered by her cold-blooded swine of a husband. Well done, the investigation team and the public in helping solve this murder. Her loving, heartbroken mum and family are still suffering.

Insurance companies should personally meet the person who is supposed to have taken the life insurance policy and should verify their identity.

I feel so bad for her family, especially her mother who was left heartbroken 😔 it's stories like this that make me happily single, I don't need a man, just my lovely cat.

25 years for premeditated murder, I can not understand that. May God bless the her family. RIP Colette.

I don’t think he could have ever been a nice person. To have that in you to kill your wife for money is just evil.

I’m really impressed with the members of the community that came forward and helped solve the crime with lightning speed.

Imagine how her sons feel that their father had killed their mother. Must be the worst feeling ever.

Blinded by fantasies, and living in the darkness of evil. First it was the secret 'girlfriend', then the money, and finally the killing - that he foolishly thought he could get away with. What an awful tragedy!

The sentences are so lenient! 25 years for murder is not justice IMO.

It’s always the life insurance policy. That should be the first thing detectives look at if anyone in a marriage dies a suspicious death.

Robbed her parents of their child, a parents' heart-break💔💔 talk from experience, lost my sister last year (not the same manner) but my folks have aged 10x since my sister's passing!!!! Excellent police work. RIP Collette 🙏

My heart goes out to all parents who bury a child. Time doesn't make the grief any less, it just helps us to carry it better.

Where this terrible tragedy happened to Collette is where i am from in Chesterfield Derbyshire. It completely shocked us all, and the shock lingers to this very day. Totally heartbreaking. RIP Collette.

Amazing job by the police for not delaying the arrest of this murderer. But the 25 years imprisonment is a joke, should have been life with no parole.

My heart is broken for Colette’s mom. I cannot imagine losing one of my children and the pain it would cause. I was crying with her.

Our “Family Liaison Officers” when my brother died were wonderful! They made an unbearable situation easier to endure.

No parent should have to bury a child.EVER! RIP Colette...you were loved!

How on earth did he think he could get away with this?? .. he literally got arrested 7 hours after mowing her down 🙄

Only Twenty-five years for killing your wife ? That is not justice 😢

25 years for PREMEDITATED murder... that's a slap on the wrist!

Such a senseless killing. Colette never really knew the man she was married to. I’m so sorry for the family.

Narration very well done on such a sad unnecessary death. The police were fabulous.

Thank god for the wonderful witnesses coming forward. What a stupid and unecessary crime this was. Just for greed. Just get divorced and you can all live your lives. Rip Collette and much love to those who loved her.

INJUSTICE to the deceased. She could easily have live beyond that sentence on the murderer. How about for life? This law OUGHT TO BE CHANGED. This justice system has more leniency to the murderer than being murdered. What kinda of mentality is that? Sicko!!

I can't understand the family's utter disbelief at his guilt. A. The vast majority of crimes of this nature are committed by the spouse & B. He wasn't showing any normal signs of grief, quite the opposite.

What always shocks me about crimes like these, is how often the perpetrators are absolute idiots! In today’s world, with DNA advancements, GPS trackers, cell phone data, and CCTV and/or private security cameras everywhere, how could one think they’ll get away with murder…especially murdering a spouse? Even worse, it’s insane how often these monsters fail to get rid of incriminating evidence, which ties them directly to their crime!

This police department did an excellent job 👏 👌

Wow UK laws are too lenient 😡 Should be life sentence! That’s horrible for her family knowing he’s gonna be out to live his life eventually 😞

Sociopaths are Sleepers. Going along like Chris Watts, appearing to be invested in his marriage & family, til something better comes along in their eyes. Then it's cut throat. No feeling. No regret. Except getting caught.

Well done for great police work, I don't say it often in a lot of cases, so I think it's important to say they did a great job!

Her poor mother , such a loving person . Truly heart / breaking to see the legacy of grief he left

Very sad indeed… I ll never understand why the name of the monster who killed her is written on her grave…I ve seen this so many times..,It s not fair, is it? RIP Colette❤ My heart goes to her family and friends ❤

Definitely better off with cat or dog been on my own 10 years completely happy 😇

It is so great to see all institutions working together honestly and sincerely to see that justice is done and the victim's family gets a closure. I am an Indian and am sorry to say that this almost never happens in my country. Bribing and counter-bribing; pilferage, tampering, and destruction of evidence by the investigating agencies themselves; incompetence; and everything that can muck up a case all come together invariably in almost every case so that no one ever gets any justice. Citizens who are hoping for something from the justice system just waste decades of their time, money, energy, and resources getting nothing in the end. This case took under two years; it would not get solved here in 20 years. Here, Christopher would be told that the police had found the car and let him decide what he wanted to do about it: For a little bit of bribe (say 500 Pounds), Chris would be allowed to go burn the vehicle and come back to the police station!!! For a little bit more, police would themselves do it for him!!!

He only got 25 years? Goodness. It should have been life.

I can't believe that judge only gave him 25 years, all premeditated

Deepest condolences for Colette’s family. Especially her boys who lost a loving mum & dad

Wow! kudus to that woman who made a right call and arrested him!

The Dad seems so sweet and gentle.

He could be out.... He should have gotten life. He wqs married to her for years and years....just to hit her with a car?!? He is disgusting and despicable

So sad. RIP Colette. Prayers for her family. A good woman killed by a greedy unfaithful man. Heartless sod. Thank you, police, and public for excellent working together to get Colette justice. Solved in 72 hrs? Amazing. Thank you all. Glad he confessed, (her family would still be defending him) but doesn't it give him automatic 1/3 off of the 25 yrs?

Money and third party are the number one roots for evil in couples lives 😢

Colette’s parents are wonderful people. I would have been thrilled to have parents like hers. God bless them both❤

25yrs sentence isn’t enough, he should be locked up in prison for life without parole

I noticed when he kissed her at the altar he kept his arms down by his sides. The mountain biking officer was so respectful when speaking about where Colette came to rest. What I don't understand though is why out of the 66 vehicles in the area they didn't spot the one registered to Chris Daffin? RIP Colette x

Anyone else see Mike from “That Chapter” do the life ins. dance after the announcement at the end?

So tragic, this poor poor family, how do you get over something like this.. You don't! RIP beautiful lady. ❤️

very upsetting the poor mother is broken

This investigation was excellent

Kudos to the police, sad case, what an evil greedy bas&a*d, never understand why people want more and more, when they have it all. RIP Collette, I hope your family and children find some peace and comfort 💔🧡💙

What sick people we have in this world, devastating to us readers, my heart goes out to her family, you just wouldn't want to believe your son in law was to blame, so very sad 😢

Heartbreaking. The mother of Collette pulled tears from my eyes. I felt her heartbreak. The husband was unbelievably selfish and callous. He destroyed that family. I hope he suffers with a life without parole sentence. What about their children. Unbelievable!

Excellent detective work!

What an evil, wicked man. May her beautiful Soul, rest in peace.. 🙏🌹💜

Good work Derbyshire constabulary, love for Colette’s mum bless her 😢

At the end where the mum says "nobody knows what it's like to bury their child", it made me break down because it's the hardest thing anyone could ever go through. I lost my daughter and it's killed me. I've been through alot in life but losing my daughter is the worst and I feel this mother's pain

Peace to Collet peace to Collette and her poor Family..parents and friends. What an evil thing to do. Poor Beautiful lady.

I feel such sadness for the family. RIP fine beautiful lady 🌹

A great job well done by the Derbyshire Police and I give a huge thank you to the witnesses that came forward with information. Another EVIL with a capital D - DEVIL of a man. RIP Collette and much love and prayers to her family.

She was lucky to have lived 16 years after marriage because there was another case in England where the wife was murdered by the husband a few months after marriage.

Amazing witnesses, without them he could have quite easily got away with murder. The police were on the ball, brilliant police work. Then again 25years for premeditated murder. Should have been a life term. God bless Colette's children and family RIP 🙏🏻❤️🌹❤️🙏🏻

I congratulate the Police 🎉🎉🎉They ve done a wonderful job. EXCELLENT !!!

Those police need to be greatly commended for their great work. Tragic case.

Why didn’t he just leave her? He had no right to take her life.

As she said no mother expects a child to leave this world before them. I know that feeling very well. What a wicked man, planning his loving wife's death while living a normal life with her. My heart really goes out to her family as not only did they have to deal with grief of losing Collette they also had to grieve the loss of who they thought was a wonderful husband to Collette

Excellent police work.

What happened to her sons? Hope they can move on from this.

Well done and thank you for dedication of the police force.❤❤

If the instructions of the solicitor are to answer "no comment" to any question, follow those instructions! If you're already under arrest everything you say can be used against you, so don't say anything! If the matter proceeds to court, defence counsel will present your case. How many actual innocent people were naive enough to believe that the truth would keep them out of prison.

Evil man, after 16 years of marriage and his affair , he then falsifies an insurance policy in her name and then runs her down and kills her. Her family did not believe he could do such a thing to their daughter, how wrong they were. Such a lovely family and Colettes poor mother my heart broke for her. I have a grown-up daughter and understand what her mum means by her daughter and best friend. I hope he rots in hell and I hope Colettes family eventually find some peace.

My sincere condolences and prayers for Collette family and friends. Her mom’s heartbreak, I could really feel her pain. I pray her heartbreak will heal. RIP Collette🕊️✝️

Her parents seem so loving.. the pain in the mother’s voice hits hard..

Sweet mother feel her pain 😢 Hope day by day you recover strength to carry on with your life xx

Watching shows like this makes me glad I'm single 😂

Bless you Collette's mother, I was a social worker in Chesterfield and my son was born there, so I know the area well. May your beautiful daughter rest in peace. Too bad there isn't a death penalty is all I can say for that lowlife.

Fantastic and thorough police work.

I heart 💗 breaks 💔😢 for her mother. No one deserves to lose a child to murder. May God 🙏 Almighty continue to send her comfort 😢.

Sharp Bunch of Investigators!

Saddest story. God bless her family.

I'll never understand how someone can say they love someone then attempt to murderthem. Smh

This is so sad heart breaking.. The love of money is the root of all evil.. That is in the bible.. I have two son's I couldn't imagine if something like this happened two one of them at all.. Seeing mother cry just broke my heart for her.. God bless this family in your name Jesus Christ our Lord King and Savior the King of all Glory!! Amen... 🙏🙌🙏🙌🙏🙌🙏🙌🙏🙌

Excellent police work. R.I.P poor girl.

What an injustice 😢😢😢😢😢He was sentenced to prison only for 25 years. 😢😢😢😢😢😢

Spoiler Well done to law enforcement & the community for working together to solve this one so quickly! The husband, did he seriously think he could get away with it?? What a clown! May Dear Collette Rest in Peace xxx

So sad, done out of pure greed. He was an abuser, a financial abuser, and they are capable of anything. Sometimes it’s worse because they are so secretive and calculating. So sorry for her family, it’s destroys your trust in people.

That cop said that if you're innocent that you should tell the cops everything, lololol. That's the very time when you should DEFINITELY never talk to the cops.

Oh, her mum ... I just want to be able to make it all better for her. 😢

I’ll never understand why people kill their partners just because of an affair!!!???? Why not just leave them 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Thoughts and prayers to Collete's family.

GREAT Job Of Investing this crime ❤

Omgoodness 😢 My deepest condolences to her family ❤

What a coward! Her poor mother and father are destroyed! Why not just walk out? What a sick guy to go through with this heinous act.

What a cruel husband

England has the same damn problem the rest of the countries do.

The British police is awesome!

It's difficult to trust anyone 😢

That is so sad my condolence to the family❤😮❤

Collette’s mother’s grief is heartbreaking.
