A 31-year-old married man who strangled his mother-of-three lover, 24, before dumping her body in a well shaft has been jailed for nine years.

Vasily Mangoshvili strangled Tatiana Mukhorotova before setting her body on fire and dumping it in a well in the village of Alexeyevskoye in Russia.

The couple began arguing after he invited her to his home to have sex while his wife was absent, according to court reports.

The mother of a five-year-old son and two daughters, aged three and eight months, demanded he leave his wife for her. 

The widow is believed to have threatened to tell the man's wife about their affair if he refused.

This led to a 'furious argument' before she was beaten and then strangled to death. 

'When the woman stopped fighting back, he threw her body into a well, covered it with crushed rock and concrete,' said a local report in Stavropol region.

He set the corpse on fire before disposing of it in the well, according to another report.
