A former policeman has been found guilty of stabbing his estranged wife to death at her high street hair salon.
Ivan Esack knifed Natalie Esack up to 11 times in front of her colleague because he could not cope with her being with someone else.
Mrs Esack, 33, was stabbed in the neck and chest in an attack which lasted about 20 seconds before she fell to the floor.
The 8in (20cm) blade bent and the tip broke off under the ferocity of the attack at Esack Hair and Beauty in High Street, Ashford, Kent, on April 30 last year.
Esack then turned to his estranged wife's colleague, Chelsea Ford, then 17, and said: "She deserved it, the b****."
In the period before the killing, he had told Mrs Esack she was a "dead woman walking" and added: "Tick tock, tick tock."
It took a jury at Maidstone Crown Court seven hours to find the ex-Kent detective constable turned aspiring football agent, guilty of the murder following a three-week trial.
The 38-year-old, of Rosewood Drive, Ashford, will be sentenced on January 14.
He declined to give evidence at the trial and had admitted manslaughter, claiming his responsibility was diminished and that he was suffering from a mental condition.
Prosecutor Philip Bennetts QC said Esack was a "violent and controlling" man who, unable to deal with the separation, killed his estranged wife "because he didn't want her to be with anyone else".
The court heard he had purchased the knife moments before the attack and made sure she was working at the salon the couple set up in 2008 before making his way over.
During the trial, Miss Ford broke down in tears as she described the horror of the attack to jurors.
She said he threw the blood-covered knife down in the salon and walked out "as if he didn't care".
"He was just a horrible person," Miss Ford said. "Whatever she did was wrong. He had to be right. If she wanted to do something, she had to ask him."
After they split, Esack sent her texts calling her names, she told the jury.
"He would send her horrible words. She had no confidence because of him," she said.
Miss Ford also revealed that during a make-or-break holiday to Mexico, Esack told his wife he was in a relationship with a man named Louis.
