STEPHEN McKinney has been found guilty of murdering his wife following a 12 week trial at Dungannon Crown Court
Aged 44 and previously of Convoy, McKinney denied murdering Lu Na on 13 April 2017, during a trip on a hired cruiser.
Ahead of sending the jury out to commence deliberations, Madam Justice McBride advised an alternative verdict of manslaughter would be acceptable.
However the jury took just over an hour to return a unanimous guilty verdict of murder.
McKinney remained more or less as impassive as he had throughout the trial, only swaying slightly when the verdict was delivered, then drinking from a bottle of water.
