A Redhill man’s been cleared of killing his wife in a retrial, saying it was in self-defence after she ‘flipped like the Marvel Comics character the Hulk.’

43-year-old, Robert Rhodes left a 13cm wound in Dawn Rhode’s neck after disarming her when she came at him at speed with a kitchen knife in their home in Wimbourne Avenue in June.

The pair had decided to divorce after Mrs Rhodes was having an affair and the row had been about Mr Rhodes’s new relationship.

After the jury delivered its verdict, the Judge said it had been, “a great tragedy for all,” and “there are no winners, only losers.”
