A man has been convicted of shooting his ex-wife's British husband in front of her and her children by a court in Miami.

Jurors heard how 42-year-old Paul Winter from Tunbridge Wells was shot by Cristobal Palacio six times - twice in the back - at Palacio's home in Miami in October 2008.

The court was told that Mr Winter had moved to Miami and married his killer's ex-wife a year earlier.

Mr Winter was in the process of applying for US residency and the family had planned to set up a bed and breakfast business, jurors heard.

Palacio had denied murder, claiming he was acting in self-defence as Mr Winter had twice threatened him with a gun - he will be sentenced next week.
