A sad story - but I guess we had better ban these too !!!
From the Voice of Truth - Today's SUN !!!
A FARMER has killed his wife with a slaughterhouse “gun”.
Wealthy Richard Parker-Morgan, 61, rang cops to say he had shot Brenda, 63, with a humane killer.
He then re-cocked the device, which fires a retractable bolt into an animal’s brain, and turned it upon himself.
Parker-Morgan survived and was arrested on suspicion of murder. But his condition deteriorated and he was critically ill in hospital last night. Detectives were waiting to interview him.
He is a well-known cattle breeder and show judge. Police believe the couple, of Shirenewton, near Chepstow, South Wales, had marital problems.
A friend said six-foot, 16st Parker-Morgan was “an imposing figure, withdrawn and hard to deal with”.
Detective Chief Inspector Harry Gamlin said: “It is a terrible tragedy.”
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes ?
