A heartbroken husband set fire to his estranged wife’s designer handbags, shoes and clothes after discovering she had married her Gambian lover.
Darrell Plews, 44, desperately wanted to win back Michelle after she met her new man on holiday in Africa, but in a furious rage torched her most precious possessions on their patio.
The incident happened at their large Wakefield house in March after his then mother-in-law told him his wife had returned to the Gambia and wed, while she was still married to Plews.

Leeds Crown Court heard how he then went to the couple’s former marital home in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, and burned around £5,000 of her possessions on a homemade bonfire.
Prosecutor Patrick Gallagher said Plews, and his now former wife, had been together six years and had two children together.
There had been tension between the couple for some time and Michelle Plews went on holiday to Gambia in January this year without her husband.

Mr Gallagher said it was while there that she met a new man, adding: 'On return from holiday she told the defendant she didn’t care for him any more and would be seeking a divorce.'
Mr Gallagher said, later in January, Plews started sending his estranged wife 'love' text messages attempting to win her back. But she rejected them and called the police.

The court heard Mr Plews appeared before magistrates where he admitted harassment and was made the subject of a restraining order.
Mr Gallagher said shortly after Plews’ first court appearance, Michelle Plews flew to the Gambia for a second time to see her new man and marry.
Mrs Plews’ neighbour contacted her in March. Mr Gallagher said: 'The neighbour had seen Mr Plews in the garden of the former matrimonial home burning her clothing.'

Victim: Michelle Plews, pictured, will receive £5,000 in compensation from her ex-husband for the property she lost in the patio blaze
When Michelle Plews returned from Gambia on March 15, she discovered clothing and other property was missing from her bedroom and she saw scorch marks on the patio.
She contacted police and he was arrested.
Richard Canning, for Plews, said: 'He has done it out of revenge. He said he was trying his best to get things back on track.'
Mr Canning said Mrs Plews had gone to the Gambia to meet her new man using money from Plews’ business, adding: 'She then married him while married to the defendant. Apparently that’s legal in Gambia.'
Mr Canning added: 'He lost his temper and did something very stupid for which he now has to pay the price.
'He kept his wife, he thought, very happy over the years. It’s difficult for him not see himself as the victim in this case. He has lost his wife, his house and his children.'
Plews had previously admitted arson and theft.
Recorder David Bradshaw handed Plews a 12-month prison sentence, suspended for two years and ordered him to pay his ex-wife 5,000 pounds in compensation.
A restraining order was imposed, banning him from contacting his former wife for two years.
And Plews, who has previous convictions for grievous bodily harm, theft and burglary, was ordered to do 200 hours unpaid work.
