Man pleads guilty to murdering wife in hot tub
Thames Valley PoliceA man has admitted to murdering his wife by drowning her in a hot tub after previously pleading not guilty to the offence.
Andrew Georgiou, 44, of Milton Keynes, changed his plea to guilty to one count of murder at Aylesbury Crown Court earlier.
Carol Georgiou, 42, was found injured inside a house in Holywell Place, Springfield, Milton Keynes, in the early hours of 2 November 2024 and later died in hospital.
Georgiou is due to be sentenced at the same court on 13 March 2026.
Thames Valley Police said in the early hours of 2 November last year, Georgiou and his wife came home after an evening out.
They both got into a hot tub in their garden and while in it Georgiou held his wife under the water and caused her to drown, the force said.
About 40 minutes later Georgiou called 999 and claimed that he had found his wife unresponsive in the water.
He was charged with murder in July, eight months after his wife's death.
At the time of her death Carol Georgiou's family said she "cherished her role as a mother to her sons and brought joy and laughter wherever she went".
"Her passing has left a deep void in our family, and we are struggling to imagine life without her.
"We will always treasure her warm smile, loving embraces and witty sense of humour," the statement said.
