The trial for this has just started.
An army sergeant who was having affairs with two women attempted to murder his wife by tampering with her parachute before a skydive he had organised as a “treat”, a jury has been told. Emile Cilliers is accused of deliberately removing vital components from a parachute rig, which led to his wife, Victoria, plunging 1,200 metres (4,000ft) to the ground during her jump in Wiltshire.

Guardian said:
Winchester crown court heard that Victoria Cilliers, a former army officer and highly experienced parachutist, spiralled to the ground but “miraculously” survived the fall.
The jury heard that a week before the incident at the army parachute association camp at Netheravon, Salisbury Plain, Cilliers, 37, allegedly tried to kill his wife, 40, by interfering with a gas pipe at their home, hoping to cause an explosion when she lit the stove.
It is claimed that Cilliers was having an affair with a woman he had met via the dating app Tinder and had vowed to begin a new life with her. But he was also having a sexual relationship with his former wife, Carly Cilliers, the court heard.

“The jury in the trial of an army sergeant accused of attempting to murder his wife by tampering with her parachute has been discharged after failing to reach verdicts.
Emile Cilliers will face a retrial after the jury was dismissed on Thursday, a day after the judge warned its members against bullying among them.”
