Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko Kerry Roberts i tapahi i te kaki me te uma o Ashley Arnold, 44-tau te pakeke, i muri i tana whakapae i a ia mo te tango tarukino i muri i tana tuara, i korerotia ki te kooti. Kua herea te tangata i tata patu i tana hoa wahine ki te maripi i mua i tana haerenga ki te huihuinga o te Halloween, e kapi ana i ona toto. I tapahia e Kerry Roberts te kaki me te uma o Ashley Arnold 44-tau-tau i muri i te whakaeke 'riri' i muri i tana whakapae i a ia ki te tango tarukino i muri i tona tuara, i korerotia ki te kooti. Katahi ia ka haere ki te rōpū Halloween i Colchester, Essex, e mau ana i ona koti mekemeke anake, ka mea ki tana tamahine, ki a Linzi, nana nei i whakahaere te rōpū: 'Kua patua ia e ahau, kua mate ia.' Ko Roberts, e mōhiotia ana ko Wart, i whakawakia ki te whakawakanga mo te whakamomori, engari i huri i tana whakaaetanga ki te hara i a ia e puta ana ki te Kooti Karauna o Chelmsford inanahi. I tenei ra i whakawakia ia ki te whare herehere mo te oranga, me te iti rawa o te iwa tau.

I kitea a Roberts, 49, e mahi ke ana i te wā i te pō o te 1 o Whiringa-ā-rangi o te tau kua hipa, i te wā i te pō o te pō me tana hoa wahine o taua wā, a Ms Arnold. I kii ia ki tetahi manuhiri e aroha ana ia ki a Ms Arnold engari i whakapono ia ka mate ia. I mahue atu te tokorua i te hui i te 10pm, ka hoki ki te kāinga o Ms Arnold i Jaywick, Essex. Ko Ms. Arnold, he whaea tokowhā, i werohia te kaki, tata tonu ki te taringa ki te taringa, i te wā i whakaekehia ia e Roberts, i rongo te kōti. I werohia hoki ia e te 6in mai i tōna kōhao ki tōna uma matau, ā, i whara kinotia ōna ringa i a ia e ngana ana ki te paruru i a ia anō. I tū a Ms. Arnold ki waho i te wāhi i āwhina ai ia e...
I whatiia e Kerry Roberts te kaki me te uma o Ashley Arnold i te whakaeke i te tau kua hipa. I muri i te whakaeke ka hoki mai ia ki te huihuinga i reira ka mea ia: 'Kua patua e ahau, kua mate ia' Ko Miss Arnold, 44, i hīkoi ki waho i te wā i karanga ai ngā hoa noho ki te rerenga mate. I whakawātia a Roberts ki te whare herehere mō ake tonu atu i Chelmsford Crown Court i tēnei rā.
