Former Phillips66 worker Wai Hong Tsang has been jailed for life with a minimum tariff of 28 years for the murder of his former wife.
Tsang, 33, of Bluebell Road, Scartho, Grimsby, battered Mingzi Yang to death in her home on June 17 last year and was found guilty by a jury on Friday.
She was found dead at her home in Sincil Bank, Lincoln by her distraught partner.
A jury delivered a unanimous verdict of guilty at Lincoln Crown Court.
Neighbours of Tsang reacted to the "chilling" news of having had a murderer living on their doorstep.
