Hoti was charged with murder on February 12, 2013.
Det Insp Euan McKeeve said: “Today’s verdict will offer little comfort to the family and children of Ganimete Hoti. I am pleased the jury was able to make their decision based on the evidence we presented. Domestic violence in all its forms is abhorrent and cannot be tolerated in any society. No-one should have to endure what Ganimete did and I hope the conviction today sends out a clear message that the Met Police will continue to relentlessly pursue perpetrators of domestic violence through the courts and any other channels available. I hope Muhamet Hoti reflects fully on the consequences of his actions every waking hour.”
Hoti will be sentenced at the Old Bailey on February 27.
