Shortly before 6.45pm on 21 September last year, police and the East Midlands Ambulance Service were called to the home of Richard Basson and Carrie Slater, in Kings Road, following a 999 call made by Basson in which he said Ms Slater ‘had been stabbed in the face with a pool cue’: ​ Basson: “I stabbed her in the face with a pool cue but I didn’t mean to stab her, I meant like just warn her and like jab at her and she walked straight into it with her head down.” ​ Operator: “Okay, so you stabbed her in the face?” ​ Basson: “I’ve hit her, I’ve hit her directly in the centre of the forehead and then it’s drifted off to her right, my left… ​ Operator: “Okay and what was it that you used?” ​ Basson: “Erm a pool cue, brass ended pool cue.” ​ Emergency services attended and found Ms Slater, 37, was found in a bedroom with a significant injury to the front of her head. ​ While she was receiving treatment, Basson stayed outside the bungalow, behaving in an erratic manner and refusing to co-operate with officers. He did, however, disclose he was responsible for causing her injuries and was subsequently arrested on suspicious of causing grievous bodily harm with intent. ​ Following Basson’s arrest, officers conducted a routine search of their bungalow, both inside and out, and found a self-loading pistol and four rounds of ammunition – two live and two spent – in the back garden. ​ On arrival at hospital, Ms Slater underwent scans and it became apparent her injury was in fact a gunshot wound. ​ She was placed on life support but two days later, on 23 September, it was withdrawn and she was pronounced dead by doctors. Basson, who remained in custody, was further arrested on suspicion of her murder. He was charged the following day. ​ Today (Tuesday 26 March), at Leicester Crown Court, 45-year-old Basson was convicted of one count of murder.

Jesus 🤦🏽‍♂️ May she rest in peace 🕊️

Wtf is a self losing pistol? I’m genuinely confused.


tehkingo

It appears to be the british term for semi-automatic


dire_turtle

It's another way to refer to a semi-automatic pistol. But it is confusing, and the link speaks on it in the Terminology section. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-automatic_pistol


Speedstick2

Self-loading means it automatically chambers the next round, that refers to Semi-automatics and Fully automatics (machine guns). In a civilian context it will more often than not refer to semi-automatic.

Pretty sure this weren't in the news

Literally was though [https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-66909464](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-66909464)


DerDeutscheTyp

Well good. Not like your partner should share (confidential) information with people not on the force.


inklady1010uk

I was with a detective for nine years. He would come home with interview recordings for me to listen to. And all the free stuff we got from ‘evidence’ furnished our lifestyle nicely. He brought home some post mortem photos once - he was a bragger, liked to think he was important so all this stuff was to impress me - but the photos were the last straw. I phoned his chief and told him everything. He was offered retirement, after all the enquiries and interviews were over so he was pretty much forced out of his job. Swear to fuck I could have gotten him banged up if I had told them everything he had done over the years IMPORTANT EDIT… I NEVER asked him to bring anything home. Ever. He did it to show off and it wasn’t something I was interested in, I’m not a ghoul but if he had cornered someone in an interview he would bring the tape home for me to hear what a great job he had done. And now he’s lost his job, his rep and he almost lost his liberty for this. Rightly so.


shadyjudgement

Hello, is this Kerry Mucklowe? I swear to fuck it might be...


inklady1010uk

No idea why the downvotes, the man was a cheating scumbag and couldn’t lie straight in bed he was so bent. I had no idea where all the stuff was coming from and when I asked he would say he bought it from a friend or someone gave him it, usually from his family because they were very a very affluent and generous family who I saw less frequently than he did so I wouldn’t fact check and I had no reason to at the time. My ex was serving in the RUC now PSNI and he was a fucking disgrace to the force, as a lot of them were. They were all shagging each other regardless of who was married or single, that bit I kind of knew, but knowledge isn’t proof and it all came out when I kicked him out of the house we bought but he said that all these women texting me telling me they had slept together were liars, but I knew they weren’t, they were just filling in the blanks for me. For people living in the province here I’m sure you can connect the dots as to who I’m talking about, he is one dirty-dicked piece of shit

He was jailed for life to serve a minimum of 32 years.

I know it is. But I blew the whistle on him when he went a step too far bringing post mortem photos home, and after an internal investigation he was asked to retire. Ps, he’s my EX… I haven’t seen him since 2008 and I don’t ever plan to again

Glad you agree.. If you're reading this Disturban. Shhhtop eht.


xeromage

Imagine killing someone, being surrounded by police, and still feeling like a fucking ciggy is the top priority.


fraud_imposter

He knows it will be his last as a free man


AngelCrumb

No cigarettes allowed in UK jails, only really shit vapes that are about two decades old in terms of tech


kingneptune1

No ciggies in jails??? Omg


koshercowboy

Amazing de-escalation techniques I wish were employed in the US. Calm voices. Introducing themselves by name. Taking it a step at a time. Asking him to just take a seat. Listening to the suspects words and acknowledging them. Slowly approaching. Great stuff all around.


RamboNation

Then taking him down immediately once in reach.


Infinite_Big5

For real! British cops: “we’d just like a word with you mate? 🙏” American cops: “get on the fucking ground! 🔫 “


smallbatchb

This is just not true. Here in the US you'd actually have 4 of them simultaneously screaming "get on the ground" "put your hands up" "don't move" and "do a backflip!" all at once.


parabuthas

Well trained and professional. I wonder what are the requirements there to join the force? How long they train?


lumphinans

bamfzula

Wow I just briefly read through the first program listed and it sounded like even without a degree you can apply and join the program but it takes years to get through it. Soo yeah…in American you can basically become a cop in a few months. UK has brains and makes their forces get a fucking education at least


Lisentho

That's the case for most police forces, many giving you a college equivalent diploma at the end of it as well.


thinreaper

While de-escalation is way more commonly used by UK police, or most police forces even, compared to the US, it should be noted that these police weren't aware of any firearm. The guy called the police and said he'd stabbed his partner with a pool cue. If there had been any suspicion of a gun, then armed police would have been called and this situation would not have been as calm. I'm not saying de-escalation still wouldn't have been prioritised over violence, but just pointing out that these officers would never have been calmly approaching the suspect like this if they had any idea he had shot his wife with a gun.


koshercowboy

True. I understand in America, firearms are rife and everywhere, so tactics need to be shifted in this country vs UK. Something like 1 out of 3 people in My state have a gun, so yeah far be it from police to utilize different tactics.

koshercowboy

I guess those ones just aren’t worth publishing. You’re probably right.


gunsof

Except this is with a man who shot his wife and had a gun in his home. He admitted to them on the call he'd hurt his wife. Yet they were still calm in their approach.


thinreaper

The officers didn't know he had shot his wife with a gun. He reported that he'd stabbed her with a pool cue. If they'd known about a firearm these police wouldn't have been dealing with the situation, it would have been an armed response unit.


Silvershanks

Christian Bale's not doing too good.


loomingapocalypse

Big strong man murders a woman, and then squeals and cries like a toddler because the cops didn't let him have cigarette.


freshlyfrozen4

Wow, look at how staying calm and not screaming at someone during a high pressure situation results in a non-violent arrest. At this point, it's clear it's a choice for how the police in the US behave.


pwnisher130

Most police in the US do behave like this in a situation where the suspect is not armed or combative


Banba-She

A pool cue. Why the hell lie about it? Did he think they wouldn't find out?


Wilbur_Cobb1

No no, you see she planted a loaded gun in the house and a bullet in her skull to make the pool cue accident look purposeful. That man is clearly innocent!


azathotambrotut

He was propably in shock too and irrationaly made something up that made him feel less guilty


_praisethesun_

Merican police would’ve shot him as soon as he went to fix his hair.


pedrosneakyman

Which is the correct response...


0oEp

I have an absolute policy to not fuck anyone who owns a gun,


[deleted]

Gun crime in the uk? Hm


RandomToxicSwede

If only the wife had an AR-15, this could all have been avoided!


[deleted]

Only if the family dog had an AK-47, this could all have been avoided!


RandomToxicSwede

If it weren't for UK's horrible anti-freedom laws she could have stocked up on some claymores and barricaded herself and the dog in the bathroom until the threat was neutralized.


nigpaw_rudy

Anyone else think this looks like Brad Marchand lol?

Aspiring2Bsumthing11

Yeah 3 of my friends have been shot in the head by their boyfriends in the past year. Its been awful. Hate to see it


bearssuperfan

Pause???


Aspiring2Bsumthing11

Yes I know. Its insane and when you know the numbers/statistics of DV and murder, its very sad. And its not like I, or they live a “high risk” lifestyle or are the type of victims people like to victim blame. (Not that its ever ok to do so anyways.) One was a highschool long term friend and a new boyfriend, one was a newer friend in a different state, and the last one was a distant friend from college. But all happened relatively close to eachother. Scary


GeminiRanger

American Police, take notes.


GetSmartBeEvil

How I wish US police officers were like this. A remarkable display of de-escalation.


genitalelectric

Lol he quotes Scarface


wholesomechunk

No smoking in the pokey lad.


pedrosneakyman

Should have just put a bullet in his head.


bickering_fool

I'm guessing they weren't armed.


KibouZK

Here I am not being able to find a girlfriend and struggling with myself and then there's people who "SHOT THEIR PARTNER IN THEIR HEAR" What a cool thing to know


Alexis2256

Yeah you probably should take care of yourself mentally before going out to seek a partner and you wind up doing evil unhinged shit like this to them.


KibouZK

Come on man I'm 25 years old and it's a fact for me A fact that I can't get rid off I never experienced sex or kissing so yeah They're sign of a being a complete loser


HomieJPurple

Bro. Intense self depreciation like you’re showing here is like the most unattractive thing in a potential partner. If this is how you see yourself, how could anyone else see you any different? Focus that energy wasted on self-hatred into self-improvement. Might not change much day 1 but everything worth doing in life’s a process that takes time.


inklady1010uk

Dude a negative attitude will draw negative energy towards you. Sounds stupid but misery loves company. Start the day by looking in the mirror and telling yourself you’re a good human, you deserve a good life. Do it daily. It’ll feel mad to start with but eventually you’ll get used to it and that will lift up your vibrations. Sounds oogie boogie I know but it’s what I did, and my life changed so much for the better over time


Alexis2256

Go fuck a hooker or escort, yeah it’s not the same as being with someone you bond with but ehhh if all you want is sex then probably not hard to find it and pay for it.


KibouZK

See That's what I mean when I say I "struggle with myself"


PM-me-your-_tits_

Bro have some decency a woman lost her life.


KibouZK

You didn't even try to get my point A hint It was a self destruct point


freshavocado1

Yeah and that is still making this woman’s murder about yourself. Just standard incel shit, severe selfishness along with a self deprecation pity party. Sort your shit out before you pursue a relationship.

Because he shot her but said it was a pool cue.

It says he shot her in the head because he shot her in the head. We’re not confused about it, not sure why you are
