Ray Gosling (right), a broadcaster for the BBC’s Inside Out programme, says he has no regrets for the mercy killing of his former partner.

“Police are investigating after the Nottingham film-maker said he had a pact with the deceased man to act if his suffering increased”, says the BBC, going on:

“During a documentary on death and dying, Ray Gosling, 70, said: ‘I killed someone once. He’d been my lover and he got Aids. I picked up the pillow and smothered him until he was dead. No regrets’.”

Assisted suicide remains a criminal offence, but interim guidelines issued in September by the director of public prosecutions set out the factors which weigh in favour of and against prosecution in different cases in England and Wales.

Last month Kay Gilderdale, 55, of Stonegate, East Sussex, was cleared of the attempted murder of her severely ill daughter who had ME. Mrs Gilderdale had administered lethal drugs to end 31-year-old Lynn Gilderdale’s life after her daughter called her for help when her own attempts at suicide failed.

Days before that another mother, Frances Inglis, 57, of Dagenham, east London, was jailed for nine years for murder after she injected her brain-damaged son Thomas, 22, with a lethal dose of heroin.

“If he was looking down on me now he would be proud that I did it and proud I’ve told other people”, Gosling told Inside Out presenter Marie Ashby.
