BRITISH police said yesterday that they will investigate a BBC presenter who admitted killing a former lover who was dying from AIDS, stoking the legal and moral debate over assisted suicide which is illegal in Britain.
Ray Gosling, 70, a veteran broadcaster on television and radio, said he smothered his friend with a pillow in hospital to fulfil a pact the pair had made in case the pain got too severe.
"We had this agreement. If it got like that, I would end his life. And that's what I did," he told the BBC. "The doctors said there's nothing we can do and he was in terrible, terrible pain. I picked up the pillow and smothered him until he was dead."
Police said they only found out about the case once Gosling's comments had been broadcast.
"We are now liaising with the BBC and will investigate the matter," Nottinghamshire police said in a statement.
