A factory worker and his former partner have been found guilty of murdering his girlfriend in order to claim her six-figure life insurance policy.
Rafal Nowak, 31, smothered Catherine Wells-Burr, 23, as she slept at their home in Chard, Somerset, in September.
His ex-girlfriend Anna Lagwinowicz, 32, and her uncle Tadevsz Dmytryszyn, 38, then disposed of her body in her car before setting it on fire.
A jury at Bristol Crown Court also found Dmytryszyn guilty of murder.
The court heard the murder was motivated by money and jealousy and was the result of months of secret meetings and phone calls between Nowak and Lagwinowicz.
Nowak, who also had a wife and child in Poland, had rekindled his relationship with his ex-girlfriend and was sleeping with her when he bought a home on Willow Way, in Chard, with Miss Wells-Burr.
Miss Wells-Burr and Nowak, who appeared to be in a loving relationship, obtained life insurance worth £123,000 for both parties - naming each other as the sole benefactor.
But in the following months Nowak and Lagwinowicz created an elaborate trail of false phone calls and texts - which were meant to show Miss Wells-Burr had gone to see a secret lover and had met her death at his hands.
Lagwinowicz also signed up to explicit dating websites pretending to be Miss Wells-Burr and created profiles on social media of fictional male admirers of the university graduate.
After a failed attempt on her life two days earlier, Nowak used a pillow from the couple's bed to smother Miss Wells-Burr in the early hours of 12 September.
Her body was discovered by fire crews in her Ford Focus in a field in Ashill, Somerset later that morning.
