London, February 17: A veteran BBC reporter Ray Gosling has confessed on air, that he was responsible for killing his lover who was very sick, and dying of AIDS. Police have launched an investigation into the episode.
A spokesman said that police officers would team up with the BBC, after Ray Gosling’s confession was aired on its ‘Inside Out’ program, which was broadcast at 7:30 p.m. GMT on Monday. It is said that the confession was recorded in November 2009. Even though the BBC was aware of the confession, they did not alert the police about it.
A police spokesman said: “We were not aware of Mr. Gosling’s comments until the BBC Inside Out program was shown. We are now liaising with the BBC and will investigate the matter.” BBC reporter Ray Gosling was in tears, as he made his sad confession while roaming through the graveyard in the documentary. “I killed someone once … He was a young chap, he’d been my lover and he got AIDS. In a hospital one hot afternoon, the doctor said, ‘There’s nothing we can do,’ and he was in terrible, terrible pain,” he said.
Ray was also in agony with the amount of pain that his lover was suffering from, so he said to the doctor that he ought to leave them alone for some time. The doctor went away, and then Ray picked up a pillow, and smothered his lover till he died. When the doctor came back, then Ray said that he’s gone. Nothing was said further between the both of them and the episode was kept under wraps.
