A man who hid his wife's body for 23
years in a steel drum in the couple's suburban Australian backyard was
convicted Saturday of her murder.

Frederick Boyle, 58, claimed he hid the body of Edwina Boyle out of
panic after finding her dead in bed at their home on the outskirts of
the southern city of Melbourne on October 6, 1983.

Melbourne man who murdered his wife and hid her body in a barrel has been sentenced to 21 years in jail.

Last month, 58-year-old Frederick William Boyle of Carrum Downs was found guilty of the murder of his wife, Edwina Boyle.

She was shot in the head as she lay in bed in the family home in October 1983.

Boyle hid her body in a 44-gallon drum and told the family and the police she had run away with another man. Her body was found 23 years later.
Supreme Court Justice Jack Forrest said Boyle had shown no remorse whatsoever, and had constructed a web of deceit and lies to avoid being caught.

Boyle will serve a non-parole period of 17 years.
