A 45-year-old man from Peacehaven has appeared at Lewes Crown Court charged with murdering his wife at the family home.
Father-of-two Robert Anscombe allegedly killed his wife, Debra, 40, at their bungalow in Cissbury Avenue on March 1.
Mrs Anscombe, a nurse, died from stab wounds.
Her husband, wearing a green fleece top, spoke only to confirm his name during a short preliminary hearing before Judge Richard Brown.
He was remanded in custody to May 25, when he is expected to enter a plea.
