They just didn't know he was running from them.

But he turns himself in and says it very frankly with kind of no fanfare.

I disposed of my wife, put her down the drain.

So two detectives hear this and they sit down with Timothy and have him tell them everything.

It takes around two hours, with Timothy recounting the entire history of his marriage up until Beryl's latest pregnancy.

Tim says that initially he'd opposed the idea of abortion, but as his wife grew more desperate and made wild claims about killing herself and their daughter Geraldine, he began to relent.

On November 7th, he met a man in a cafe seemingly at random who shared that he had access to abortion pills.

He bought them and took them back home to Beryl.

The next day, when Tim returned from home, he found Beryl dead.

She'd taken those pills and they'd killed her.

At this point, Tim, possibly because abortion was illegal in Britain and he would be blamed for his wife's death, decided to hide the body.

He said he opened up the drain in front of the house and dropped her body in.

So he wasn't kidding when he said that he put her down the drain.

He then left Geraldine, the daughter, with some mysterious people who would take care of her and fled to Wales.

So this is the story that he tells the two detectives.
