A man who carried on an affair with his lover after murdering his fiancee has been jailed for at least 22 years.
Andrew Lindo, 29, strangled, beat and stabbed Marie Stewart and hid her body in a suitcase at their home in Holmfirth, West Yorkshire, in December.
His trial heard he had been living a double life, having several affairs.
Jailing him for life, a judge at Bradford Crown Court said Lindo had shown an "extraordinary and chilling lack of remorse".
Hours after killing Miss Stewart, Lindo took the couple's two young children to collect his latest lover, Angela Rylance.
She spent the night with Lindo in the bedroom where the attack on Miss Stewart began, unaware that her body was hidden in the garage two floors below.
Mr Justice Andrew Smith said the parole board would have to take into account Lindo's "extraordinary cunning and facility for deceit" before he was considered for release.

The judge said Lindo's attack on Miss Stewart was "cruel and sustained".
He said the motive for the killing remained unclear, but it appeared Lindo's double life had finally caught up with him.
For seven weeks Lindo convinced his fiancee's family and friends she was still alive, posting messages through her Facebook profile and using her mobile phone to tell them she had left him and moved abroad.
But when they became suspicious, the police were called and officers found her body hidden in the garage.
The judge said statements from Miss Stewart's family were "truly moving".
He said: "The dignity and restraint that they have shown during this trial cannot disguise the enormity of what you inflicted upon them."
Music teacher Lindo admitted killing his partner but he denied murder.
He claimed he lost control following a row with Miss Stewart, during which he accused her of mistreating their daughter.
The judge said Lindo's allegations were "a deliberate and despicable fiction".
Speaking after the sentencing, Det Supt Dick Nuttall, the senior investigating officer in the case, said Lindo's behaviour had "inspired revulsion" among the most senior detectives on the inquiry team.
He said Lindo displayed "crocodile tears" in police interviews.
Mr Nuttall added: "Marie Stewart died at the end of a series of assaults which began in the bedroom and continued down three floors and ended up with her body been callously consigned to a bag in the garage."

ARSA claims ambush on Myanmar security forces

Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) on Sunday claimed responsibility for an ambush on Myanmar security forces that left several wounded in northern Rakhine state, the first attack in weeks in a region gutted by violence. Rakhine was plunged into turmoil last August, when a series of ARSA raids prompted a military backlash so brutal the UN says it likely amounts to ethnic cleansing of the Muslim Rohingya minority. The army campaign sent some 650,000 Rohingya fleeing for Bangladesh, where refugees have given harrowing accounts of rape, murder and arson at the hands of security forces and vigilantes. Myanmar's military, which tightly controls information about Rakhine, denies any abuses and insists the crackdown was a proportionate response to crush the "terrorist" threat. ARSA have launched few attacks in recent months.  But the army reported that "about ten" Rohingya terrorists ambushed a car with hand-made mines and gunfire on Friday morning

Thai penis whitening trend raises eyebrows

Image copyright LELUXHOSPITAL Image caption Authorities warn the procedure could be quite painful A supposed trend of penis whitening has captivated Thailand in recent days and left it asking if the country's beauty industry is taking things too far. Skin whitening is nothing new in many Asian countries, where darker skin is often associated with outdoor labour, therefore, being poorer. But even so, when a clip of a clinic's latest intriguing procedure was posted online, it quickly went viral. Thailand's health ministry has since issued a warning over the procedure. The BBC Thai service spoke to one patient who had undergone the treatment, who told them: "I wanted to feel more confident in my swimming briefs". The 30-year-old said his first session of several was two months ago, and he had since seen a definite change in the shade. 'What for?' The original Facebook post from the clinic offering the treatment, which uses lasers to break do
