In the months before murdering his wife, Davies was working in logistics in Abu Dhabi.

During his trial, the court heard he became increasingly depressed and anxious living alone in a flat without windows.

He was worried about paying back the £30,000 bank loan and repair costs to their home.

Davies said he could not understand why he strangled Tracey. He said his mind was "broken".

"I have no idea what I was doing, I didn't understand what I was doing. I had no relation to my hands," he said.

"I knew it was wrong.

"There was no plan, no thought, I couldn't stop myself. I remember Tracey struggling and grabbing my arms."

After killing his wife, he took an overdose and stabbed himself in the throat and chest. The couple were later discovered by a family member and paramedics.

An inquest opening a provisional cause of death was recorded as pressure on the neck.

In a tribute, Tracey's family said she was an "extraordinary woman", and a "devoted mother" whose children were her "greatest pride".

They described her as a "a cherished sister, a loyal friend, and a radiant presence whose laughter could light up any room".

The family added "her legacy lives on in the love she gave and the lives she changed".
