Imran Sharif, 44, father-of-four who killed his wife in the kitchen of their family home then went to work faces jail after admitting murder. He dropped the couple's children off at school before returning home and attacking Raheela Imran, 45, leaving her to die, police said.
He said: "Having been charged with his wife's murder and while on remand at Bullingdon Prison, Sharif confided in another prisoner, who he had known for about 12 years, and admitted killing his wife.
"He is clearly an extremely violent and dangerous man."
Detective Chief Inspector Mike Lynch, from Thames Valley Police, said: "I am glad that Sharif has accepted responsibility for what he did and admitted today that he took his wife's life.
"This has been an incredibly difficult time for Raheela's family and friends as they try to come to terms with their loss and although it may offer them little comfort, I hope that Sharif's guilty plea will be of some help as they begin to rebuild their family's lives."
Mr Foster added: "This case represents a tragedy for the family of Raheela.
"Her children, family and friends have been devastated by her untimely death.
"We have worked closely with Thames Valley Police since this investigation was launched and as a result of the hard work and diligence of the prosecution team, a just outcome has been achieved.
"We know that nothing will bring Raheela back to her children, family and friends, but we hope that today's conviction brings them at least a small sense that justice has been done.
"Our thoughts are very much with them all at this time."
Sharif was remanded in custody and will be sentenced on May 5 at Reading Crown Court.
