Nice riddle, janleht!
Was fun to solve.
And nice work Mandle for coming up with the chimney idea.

Did he hide her body in a building?
Did he hide her body in the woods?
Did he hide her body under the open sky?
Did he burn her body?
Did he bury her in the ground?
Did he cut her body into pieces?

If you visit Germany and are interested in this story, you could visit the Hamburg Dungeon. They present the story about Klaus Störtebeker quite nicely.

Possible solution:
After the man killed his wife in the heat of the moment, he hid her body somewhere.
Then he remembered or learned that there was some kind of event with a big fire planned near the place where he hid her.
He found out where the wood for this fire was stored and then burned the shed to prevent the event from happening.
