A man has been convicted of the murder of his wife in Milton Keynes following a police investigation.

Andrew Georgiou, 44, of Holywell Place, Springfield, Milton Keynes, pleaded guilty to one count of murder during a hearing at Aylesbury Crown Court today (9/12).

In the early hours of Saturday 2 November 2024, Andrew Georgiou and his wife, Carol Georgiou, 42, arrived home following an evening out.

After arriving home, Carol got into the couple’s hot tub located on the patio in the rear garden.

Whilst in the hot tub, Andrew held his wife under the water causing her to drown.

About 40 minutes later, Andrew Georgiou called 999, claiming that he had found his wife unresponsive in the hot tub.

Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Inspector Michael Roddy, of the Thames Valley Police Major Crime Unit, said, “This is a tragic case and my thoughts and the thoughts of Thames Valley Police remain with Carol Georgiou’s loved ones at this difficult time.”

Andrew Georgiou will be sentenced at Aylesbury Crown Court on 9 March 2026.

Police are appealing for witnesses following a fail-to-stop incident in Wolverton in which a motorist made an attempt to evade officers.

The incident happened at around 2pm on Sunday (7/12). A black Volvo V60 failed to stop for police and drove dangerously in an attempt to evade officers, narrowly avoiding collisions with other road users on Stratford Road.

The incident began on Stratford Road and continued up to Galley Hill before the car was recovered as an abandoned vehicle on Clailey Court, Galley Hill.

The offender driving the vehicle is described by Thames Valley Police as a white man with brown hair and was wearing a white/grey jacket.

Investigating officer PC Jack Boyden said, “We are appealing for witnesses who may have seen the incident, the black Volvo V60 or the driver at the time or immediately afterwards.

“If you were driving around this area during this time or after and may have dash cam footage, please contact us. If you live locally and have video doorbell or CCTV footage, please come forward.

“If you have any information or footage, please make a report online or by calling 101, quoting reference 43250621255.

“Alternatively, for 100% anonymity, you can also call the independent charity, Crimestoppers, on 0800 555 111 or report via its website.”

Luton Town took a point from their trip to Leyton Orient after scoring a stoppage time equaliser in their 1-1 draw.

Theo Archibald had put the hosts in front, but Gideon Kodua’s 96th minute header landed in the back of the net to take a point for the Hatters in East London.

The point was enough for Jack Wilshere’s side to avoid falling to a first defeat in three League One outings, with the Hatters remaining 7th in the third tier table. They are 3 points off the play-offs.

The first half saw both sides struggle to create a lot going forward, with the half overshadowed by an injury to Leyton Orient’s Josh Koroma that saw the home side’s player leave on a stretcher.

Luton had created the only major opportunity of the half, with Jerry Yates denied by home goalkeeper Killian Cahill in the opening phase.

After the break, things began to open up when Leyton Orient scored the opening goal of the game. Dom Ballard seized the ball off of Kal Naismith and poked through for Archibald, who tapped the ball past Josh Keeley to put the home side ahead.

Luton came close to an equaliser when substitute Jordan Clark thumped a strike off the post just after coming on.

During the ten minutes of stoppage time, Luton would ultimately force a way through. Liam Walsh’s shot was deflected behind for a corner, and from the resulting corner that Walsh sent in, the ball landed for Kodua to head home the injury right at the end of proceedings.

Luton are next in action on Saturday, when they welcome League One’s current bottom side Port Vale to Kenilworth Road in their last home game before Christmas.

Northampton Town picked up a point after a 1-1 draw at home to Huddersfield Town at Sixfields.

Nesta Guinness-Walker had scored an early goal for the Cobblers before Leo Castledine equalised for the visitors from West Yorkshire.

With no winner coming from either side, it meant a point for Kevin Nolan’s side, who finished the season 15th in the League One table. They currently sit 5 points above the relegation zone and 7 off the play-offs.

It was the hosts who made a flying start to proceedings with a goal inside the opening 9 minutes. Guinness-Walker was picked out by Conor McCarthy and the Cobblers full-back placed home a crisp volley to put them in front.

Dion Charles would miss the target with two attempts from decent positions for the West Yorkshire side, before Lee Nicholls in the Huddersfield goal kept out Tom Eaves.

Huddersfield would equalise after 36 minutes. Charles’ cross picked out Castledine, and the Chelsea loanee beat Ross Fitzsimons in the Northampton goal to equalise for the visitor.

Charles would miss the target once more in the latter stage of the half, at the end of a first-half that ended up finely poised.

The single best opportunity of the second half came the way of the Terriers, with Cameron Ashia denied by Fitzsimons in the final stage.

Northampton go again on Saturday, when the Cobblers visit Nene Valley Derby rivals Peterborough United.

MK Dons were beaten 3-2 by Notts County after conceding a late goal in an eventful game at Meadow Lane.

The visitors had taken the lead twice through goals by Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, but the Dons conceded equalisers to strikes by Matt Dennis and Alassana Jatta.

Tom Iorpenda then struck an 88th minute winner for the Magpies, in a goal that won the game for the hosts and proved enough for Notts County to leapfrog MK Dons in the table. Defeat by the banks of the Trent sees MK Dons fall a few places to 5th, albeit only 2 points off the automatic promotion spots.

Paul Warne opted to reshuffle his side from the weekend’s FA Cup win over Oldham, making 5 changes – albeit with one enforced after Jack Sanders was handed a 3 game ban announced just before the game – but his side made a quickfire start as they took the lead after 3 minutes.

Mendez-Laing, who had returned to the starting line-up, was played through by Callum Paterson, and the winger was able to advance, cut inside and fire into the top corner.

But Notts County would equalise within 5 minutes. Former Dons striker Dennis collected Jacob Bedeau’s pass, created space for a shot and then lashed a strike into the back of the net.

A quick start would see the Dons score again another 5 minutes later, however. From a corner, the referee deemed that ex-Don Conor Grant fouled Laurence Maguire, and from the spot, Mendez-Laing drilled the penalty beyond home keeper Kelle Roos for his second of the night.

Roos pawed away a shot from outside the box by Alex Gilbey, and that save would also prove useful for the hosts when Notts County equalised again.

Maguire had attempted to send a header back towards Craig MacGillivray, but his underpowered backward header fell for Jatta, who duly charged forward before beating the keeper in the one-on-one.

Notts County then could’ve completed the comeback moments later when Iorpenda hit the crossbar from six yards after being picked out in a cross into the box.

While the first half proved to be a frantic contest, the second would be a more close-thought affair. The Dons came close with Gilbey denied from a tight angle by Roos before Mendez-Laing saw a strike just bounce wide.

Roos would then also deny Will Collar, while at the other end, MacGillivray made a save late in the game to keep out Kellan Gordon.

But from the corner given after MacGillivray’s save, Notts County forced in the game’s eventual winner. MacGillivray couldn’t hold onto the corner, Dennis saw a strike blocked on the line by Marvin Ekpiteta and Iorpenda lashed the rebound home to put Notts County ahead in the 88th minute.

The visitors tried to rally a steal a point, including an appearance for former County man Dan Crowley, but despite the game reaching 11 minutes of stoppage time, the Dons ran out of time for the equaliser and they duly lost the game.

MK Dons face another big game on Saturday, when they play host to a Cambridge United side that are currently one place below them in the League 2 table.
