For those of you who don't know,once Ray was,and still is a brilliant broadcaster and writer,in recent years he has hit on hard times.
He is back in the news for confessing on TV to killing his Gay lover by smothering him.His lover was dying from Aids and was in extreme pain,they had had an agreement that if this scenario occurred,Ray would take appropriate action.
Ray has been arrested,and charged with Murder,he has already said that he will not tell the Police anything.
He has not revealed the name of the person, or were the hospital is,that this incident took place about 20 years ago.
I'm sure many of you will know,a lot of Cancer stricken people are eased out of life with an increasing amount of medication,it happens every day,but i don't hear of anybody being charged with Murder.

i heard this story before, it sounds to me like the doctor turned a blind eye when it happened as he knew it was for the best. i personally dont think he should be charged and even though the law states otherwise they tend to be leniant in these sort of cases. i think it's just a case of police following procedures and he will eventually be let off.

Already been charged with murder...I personally think, due to the high profile, he will be made an example of.

Does seem like a joke. There's got to be better ways they can spend police time and money than this

Whether you agree with it or not, surely the point is, it is murder according to the law. The police HAVE to enforce the law and they're unfortunately only doing what should be done, irrespective of the politics behind it.

Very sad this. Ray is one of the most underrated broadcasters..a true national treasure. Can still remember some of his documentaries from the late 70`s which were very different to anything else around at the time. He must have known what he was doing in admitting this now. I just wish he`d kept quiet.
PS: He was born in Chester too.

So the guy is either a murderer or exposed publically as the worst kind of liar - lying about the death of a loved one.

Bloody idiot. He could have simply left it for his memoirs, instead he's put himself, his friends and his family through this.
