JAMIE Starbuck travelled to more than 70 countries and cities using his dead wife's money in just two-and-a-half years.
His killed his wife, Debbie Starbuck, on April 24, 2010, and then rapidly began making arrangements to go around the world.
In one e-mail he lied as he wrote: "My wife and I are going travelling and looking at ways of holding our mail".
Within 48 hours of killing Debbie, Starbuck was making the arrangements to flee the country, booking himself a one-way flight to Amsterdam.
He sent e-mails purporting to be from his wife and enclosed wedding photos to friends. He even cancelled an appointment she had made the following week with her counsellor.
He arranged for mail to be redirected from their address and sold their Citroen car, before catching his flight to Amsterdam on May 25.
He began travelling around Europe, going from Amsterdam to Rotterdam, in Holland, Antwerp in Belgium, and on to Spain: Barcelona, Madrid, Cordoba, Alicante and back to Barcelona.
From there he went to Catania, located on the eastern coast of Sicily at the foot of Mount Etna, and into Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Poland, then Greece and parts of Turkey, before a long-haul flight to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.
By November the following year he had travelled from the north to the south of India, flown to Bangkok, Singapore and then to Cape Town and Johannesburg.
He travelled from South Africa to New York and Mexico, through central America and the Caribbean to Cambodia, where he visited the famous Buddhist temple of Angkor Wat, and to Peru, where he stopped off at the Machu Picchu, a 15th-Century Inca site located 2,430 metres above sea level.
He left there earlier this year on a flight bound for Heathrow where police were waiting.
