A man has been convicted of murder after stabbing his wife to death seven times in their family home in New Cross earlier this year.
Hai Van Nguyen, 42, was found guilty of killing his wife Hien Thi Vu on Sunday, 13 April at Woolwich Crown Court on Monday, 15 December.
The couple, who had three children, lived in Hatfield Close off New Cross Road.
The court heard how Nguyen was convinced his wife was having an affair and in the hours before he murdered her demanded to see her TfL app to prove her movements.
Immediately after murdering her he walked into a police station and told officers he had stabbed his wife. He was immediately arrested and charged the following day.
Hien was found in her bedroom with seven stab wounds, one of which caused significant blood loss and led to her death. A bloody knife was found on her bedside drawer.
Detective Inspector Stephanie Dexter, who led the investigation, said: “This is a tragic case and our thoughts remain with the couple’s three children who are grieving for the sudden loss of their mother.
“Nguyen was a jealous man who carried out a brutal attack on his wife in their own home, the place she should have been safest.
“Our commitment to tackling violence against women and girls is unwavering and we would encourage victims to reach out to police or other support agencies to seek help.
