New photo Husband who strangled his beautician wife to death jailed for nine years

Adrian Rodi, 50, murdered his ex wife Angela Rider

A 'paranoid' and 'psychotic' husband who strangled his wife to death has today been jailed for more than nine years.

Adrian Rodi, 50, killed his estranged wife Angela Rider after becoming 'increasingly controlling' of the way the freelance beautician and property developer dressed and acted. 

Rodi 'manipulated' Ms Rider's 'caring nature' while violently asphyxiating her on three separate occasions, a court heard. 

He even bought a house on the same street as her after they separated.

Prosecutor Kama Melly QC told Leeds Crown Court how 'dangerous' Rodi strangled Ms Rider to the point of losing consciousness while they holidayed in Greece.

While on their honeymoon in Thailand, during a case of 'extreme paranoia' he pushed his wife's face into a pillow after accusing her of behaving 'provocatively' with men.

Rodi then made a 'serious' suicide attempt after Angela, 51, separated from him following the incident in Thailand.

However, the court was told how he would 'use emotional tools to get [Angela] to resume the relationship' with him.

In December 2014 he was made the subject of a hospital order after strangling her but was released the following March.

After being diagnosed with depression with psychotic symptoms Rodi stopped taking his antidepressant medication Sertraline nine months later.

The court heard how when the couple returned from a trip to Greece in 2016 Ms Rider appeared 'scared'. 

Judge Tom Bayliss QC told how in the months prior to her murder Rodi became increasingly abusive.

After buying a house on the same street as her in Selby, North Yorkshire, he began spending more time with Ms Rider again.

The court heard Ms Rider's daughter Sara spent time with her and Rodi in the Lake District the week before Angela's death and described him as 'smothering' her.

The court was told how Rodi and Angela were 'halfway through a dinner' when he strangled her on March 4.

She was found at her home after Rodi 'picked her up and laid her on the sofa' then called the police to them he had 'strangled his ex-partner'.

Police caught up with Rodi just after 1.30am on March 5 in a carpark in the Lake District in his vehicle.

Told he was under arrest under suspicion of murder, he told officers: 'There's no suspicion of murder.'

He added: 'I've just f****** killed someone and we're standing here.'

Ms Rider's body was found with lacerations and bruises caused by blunt force trauma.

Rodi pleaded guilty to manslaughter in September this year.

As he sentenced him to a hospital life with a minimum term of nine years and 114 days today Judge Tom Bayliss QC told Rodi: 'The victim of this terrible crime is Angela Ryder.

'She is you ex-wife and someone who I do not doubt you loved. Her family will miss her greatly - their loss is unimaginable.

'She was a generous and strong independent woman who could stick up for herself - she was an amazing daughter.

'The picture is one of a controlling and coercive relationship with occasional acts of violence.

'After what you did in Greece your relationship broke down - what is surprising is that you two got back together.

'I am quite sure you intended to kill her. It was not premeditated and I have no doubt you regretted it afterwards.'

Judge Bayliss QC said Rodi's illness had played a 'significant contributory role' in Angela's death.

He said it was Rodi's fault he had stopped taking his medication and the consequences had been 'catastrophic'.

In a statement read to the court, Ms Riders's sister Tracy Mills sobbed as she told how Rodi had 'stolen her future'.

She said: 'Angela and I had dreams of living together when we were old - we were going to grow old together.

'She told me (Rodi) was a slob - I never understood why she stayed with him.

'Angela was always a strong character but I remember a change in her character and coming back from Greece with (Rodi).

'She lacked confidence and even her dress sense had changed - her character was always more controlled around Rodi.

'I feel like half of me is gone - my best friend has been taken from me.

'I will never get over the loss of my baby sister - she must have suffered before her death and I will never get that out of my mind.'

Judge Bayliss QC sentenced Rodi to nine years and 114 days.

He was made the subject of a hospital order at Newton Lodge medium secure unit in West Yorkshire and will serve the remainder of his time in prison after his release.

As Rodi was led away from the dock he showed no emotion.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
