David denied any involvement in the murder of his wife, but was found guilty in 1997 and sentenced to life in prison. The trial judge, Mr Justice Alliott, said he was in no doubt that David was the prime mover behind the killing. The judge described Howells as a "thoroughly evil man who groomed or indoctrinated his sons to kill their mother while he was safely beyond suspicion as an actual participant''. As he sentenced David, he said: ...You were the instigator of this appalling crime and you suborned your sons into doing what they did. ...Over a period of months, if not years, you so groomed and indoctrinated their young minds in that they did what you wanted. ...They acted out what to them initially must have been unthinkable while you were safely beyond suspicion as a participant.... The judge then added: ...There can be nothing more vile than to get your sons to kill their mother unless, as is apparent from the covert tapes, you cheerfully contemplated their long detention while you went free. ...Not withstanding any deficiencies in the deceased as a wife and a mother, she did nothing to warrant the terrible death she suffered.... Where is David Howells now? David was serving a minimum term of 18 years at Wakefield Prison, but it is not known if he is still there. In 2004, Yorkshire Live reported that he faces an extra year in jail after his sentence ends if he fails to pay £19,000 in costs for his 1997 trial.
