In April 2015, a woman parachuted from 4,000ft in Wiltshire.

During the jump, her parachute failed to open, and rescuers expected the worst.

Despite serious injuries, including broken spine and ribs, the British woman miraculously survived, People writes.

Police launched an investigation into the incident, which appeared suspicious.

The Army Parachutists Association also suspected foul play and contacted the police.

The investigation led to her husband, an Army sergeant who had twice attempted to kill his wife.

The first time he caused a gas leak in their home was less than a week before the incident.

The judge said the man wanted to collect the insurance after his wife's death so he could continue a relationship with another woman and advance in his career.

In May 2018, the man was eventually found guilty on two counts.

By the court's decision, he was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 18 years.
