Benoit Piet, 42, admitted at the Assizes court in Ille-et-Vilaine, near Rennes in northern France, that he turned his wife Adeline, 34, into a charred meal in 2006, saying two years before that she had committed suicide in the family garage and he had been afraid that he would be accused of killing her.

But prosecutors say he murdered his wife. She had been seeking a divorce and he was going to have to leave the family's home near St Malo.

Piet had given a variety of explanations for her
disappearance to friends and family and had sparked a nationwide search for her.

The couples' two girls and five boys, aged 12 to 20, were in court as Piet promised to tell the truth after "so many lies". The prosecution said that two of his wife's bones and her DNA had been found by the barbecue.

The murder trial continues.
