A man who claimed his wife was possessed before strangling her to death has been found guilty of her murder

After she tried to leave, they became entangled in a scuffle and Mr Barrott hit his wife to the head with hammer, before the pair grabbed each other’s throats.

He strangled her until she stopped breathing, but claimed had no intention of killing his wife and claimed he did not even know she was dead.It was documented during the trial that Barrott suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder and a depressive disorder, and believed in the occult, claiming there were “dark forces” in the house.

He told the jury that he believed there was"a demon" possessing his wife at the time and wanted to “kill it”. Barrott said he felt"detached" from himself and"reality didn't feel the same" during the incident, leading to his admission of manslaughter.Victim personal statements are to be heard and his sentence is to be decided at Bradford Crown Court on August 8.
