Chat room conversations on the internet seem an innocent source of amusement for thousands of people every day.
But they can lead to tragedy as the sad case of William Commins from Worthing has shown.
His wife left him for a man she met on the web and Commins became bitterly jealous.
He stabbed her to death in front of three children and will now be sentenced for manslaughter.
A woman is dead and a man's life has been ruined and all because of her internet infatuation.
Three innocent children have endured a horrifying experience they will never forget and seen their family split apart.
