'I know it sounds selfish, but I didn't want her to leave': Tetra Pak billionaire avoids jail for preventing burial of wife who lay dead in their £70million home 'for two months'
Hans Rausing, 49, given 10 months' suspended sentence for 'deceit'
Also handed two-month suspended jail sentence to run concurrently for driving under the influence of drugs on the day his wife's body was found
Eva Rausing's remains were found under a pile of clothes and bin bags
She fought a lifelong battle with addiction alongside her wealthy husband
Mrs Rausing, 48, was last seen on May 3, when she looked ill and swollen
Couple had spiralled back into drug addiction after celebrating the Millennium with a glass of champagne
Rausing is staying at a private hospital in Marylebone
First became addicted to drugs while travelling, aged 29
Defence said he tried to avoid the fact of his wife's death 'like a child'

An appropriate, compassionate sentence but would it have been the same if he had been a working class addict from a sink estate?

RIP Eva Rausing, I hope and pray that your children can lead happy, well adjusted lives

Speaking of which, are their children at boarding schools? I hope, for their sake, they weren't living in this horrible home while their mother lay dead in her room for 2 months.

Eva Rausing 'had information' on murder of Swedish PM' (Guardian)
Metropolitan police passes information to authorities
in Sweden about killing of Olof Palme in 1986

---
A Swedish author who has written two books on the Palme killing said Mrs Rausing first contacted him in June 2011. She claimed she had learned that Palme had been killed by an entrepreneur who feared the politician was a threat to his business.

The author, Gunnar Wall, said he had engaged in email correspondence with Rausing, who told him she had written to the businessman on three occasions about the allegations. In one email to Wall she wrote: "Don't forget to investigate if I should suddenly die! Just joking, I hope."
