Guilty Judo Killer

California -- January 5, I wrote a post about a judo black belt -- a former student of renowned and respected judo teacher "Will" Cahill -- accused of killing his wife.

August 29, the man admitted in court to the murder, according to findarticles.com. He claimed he killed his wife following an argument, using what the software engineer called a Judo technique. He said that he kept her corpse in his car for two nights while he dug a makeshift grave in the Oakland hills.

He allegedly confessed on August 21 to use "the most unsophisticated choke hold that any judo instructor would completely despise you for ever using,"

He was convicted by a jury on April 28 of first-degree murder in the killing. His wife had last been seen alive September 3, 2006, when she dropped off the couple's two children at the man's home.

The 44-year-old man led police to the grave, where the skeletal remains of his 31-year-old wife were found, on July 7.
