You are a member of the Williams Lake R.C.M.P. On September 12, 1992, you were on duty at the detachment at 1:29 am. A man, whom you know as Michael Hudson, arrived and began banging on the door. You responded and immediately upon your opening the door, Hudson blurted out: I just killed someone with my bare hands; Oh my God, I just killed someone; I’ve just killed two people; Oh my God. I’ve just killed two people with my hands; My God, I’ve just killed two people. My hands; I’ve just killed two people. I killed them; I just killed two people; I’ve just killed my mother and father in law. I stabbed and Buy Acomplia pills beat them to death. It’s all my fault.
Continue on details below.
You asked Hudson where this had happened and he described the location of his in laws’ home near the intersection of Westcoast Road and Pinewood Place. You turned Hudson over to an auxiliary constable and directed him to call and ambulance. You observed that Hudson was covered in blood and extremely agitated. You did not detect any sign that Hudson had been drinking. You immediately drove to the place described to you by Hudson. It is a mobile home located upon a small acreage. (Exhibit #1 is a photograph of the home taken by you later in the morning of September 12, 1992.) Upon entering the home your worst fears were realized. Looking down the hallway you immediately saw Mr. Jack Willis on the floor covered in blood and moaning softly. When you went to where he was and looked into the bedroom, you could see Mrs. Willis. She was dead, having suffered many stab wounds. After the ambulance attendants had taken Mr. Willis away, you took photographs in the home.
(Exhibit # 2 shows the hallway scene after removal of Mr. Willis and Exhibit # 3 shows the body of Mrs. Willis. A large kitchen knife is visible in this photograph, You seized the knife. It is Exhibit # 4.) You then returned to the R.C.M.P detachment. Michael Hudson’s pickup truck was parked outside the detachment still. You opened the driver’s door and then observed a tire iron on the floor of the cab. (Exhibit #5 is a photograph of the truck cab with the tire iron clearly visible and Exhibit #6 is the tire iron, which you seized.) Later in the day on September 12, 1992, you drove from the Willis home to the house of Michael Hudson in the Mountview Mobile Home Park. This distance is exactly 20.4 km. On cross-examination you will agree that Michael Hudson was crying and expressing suicidal thoughts when you talked to him. You will also recall that when you asked him why he had killed his in-laws, he seemed unable to answer. You will say that he seemed horrified and remorseful.
He was totally co-operative with you.
This is the end. Please help me thanks a lot.
