Tetra Pak heir Hans Kristian Rausing given suspended sentence

TETRA Pak heir Hans Kristian Rausing has received a suspended jail sentence after admitting he delayed the burial of his wife, whose body lay rotting in their London mansion for two months
The 49-year-old millionaire said in a statement read to a London court that he had been unable to "confront the reality" of the death of his US-born wife Eva, 48, and tried to act as if it had not happened.
Sentencing him to 10 months imprisonment suspended for two years, Judge Richard McGregor-Johnson told Rausing his behaviour was "an illustration of the utterly destructive effects of drug misuse".

Rausing pleaded guilty to preventing the lawful and decent burial of his wife and to a separate charge of driving a vehicle while unfit through drugs.
He received a suspended sentence of two months for the second charge and was disqualified from driving for two years.

Rausing must also complete a drug treatment program.
