That's creepy. His cold, calculated approach. " bit different for you tonight....?"
That's cold.

[CyFr]

"I'm not violent, I'm not nothing." Yet murdered his wife.

[KZHAO-qbzw]

- is it just two of you in the house?
- Er. just one of us now.
You gotta admit that even this murder has a sense of humour

[chiefrcker]

I love when he says, "well just the one of us now"!!! That was priceless.

[victoriaalexandracabriniqu]

The way he is cracking jokes and trying to ingratiate himself reminds me a bit of an abusive ex.

[bloodinthewater]

A cold, dark, emotionless soul. Wow.

[KennBurch]

It plays like the darkest Monty Python sketch of all time.

[jasongoodacre]

The guy still keeps his sense of humour - "Just the two of you in the house. Yeah two, well one now".

[noodles]

This phone call is all so very British

[Dynamikcheese]

14 years minimum. It's absolutely mind boggling that this guy could theoretically be out in 14 years well 11 years now. Ludicrous

[timgodsalve]

'Former UKIP councillor' says it all really

[patriciaboivin]

Another example of the link between extrem right and violence against women

[loud]

Well, that was both funny and disturbing.

[mrcaboosevg]

His wife had caught him cheating is the reason why, i don't know why a normal divorce wouldn't have suffice but this is what happened

[usman]

I dont get why the police sell this sort of stuff to newspapers. Kinda gross.

[MarK-njvr]

The husband is a murderer and the son forgives his wife for cheating on him with his own father. Poor Anne, the men in her family are such a failure.

[gavparr]

I'm calling Walt on this bloke. I fail to believe he is a former Royal Marine!

[ddlewis]

All you have to do is look in his eyes and you can see he's a killer.

[ahmadnasseri]

See the police reaction :
I jist killed my wife .
Police : You just killed your wife ? Okay.

When the police arrived at his home :
How are you ?
Police : im fine thanks .
the polices were happy for killing wife.

There are very few times i wish that uk police would be like american police... this was one of those times....
