There is no proof whatsoever that Richard III did kill his wife Anne Neville. In fact, her death came as a great blow due to the fact that his one and only heir died. Richard desperately needed another heir to consolidate his position as King, and Anne dying meant that he had to put that on hold until he found another wife.
