Gosling: 'I told police dead lover's name'

“Sadly, I think Steve is on the money. As I said from the outset, Mr Gosling has a track record of courting publicity by making himself the news story, as he did when he was made bankrupt for failing to pay his tax bill, and then made a whole documentary in which he tried to blame everyone but himself.

The guy clearly craves attention, and will go to almost any length to get it. I therefore think by far the most likely scenario is that he simply made the whole thing up for dramatic effect, and then got carried along by the whole twisted fantasy as it acquired a momentum of its own.”

“Why did he have to reveal what he did if indeed he did do it, what has it added to the debate on the subject of mercy killing, absolutely nothing. This is all about Raymond Gosling, a person who had been in the media but who was finding it increasingly difficult to be heard in any capacity and hiding behind his age to safeguard not going to prison and basking in the attention. Gosling is a sad little man.”

“Michael, laws can be, and I think should be on this subject, changed.

And at any rate, the Director of Public Prosicutions is I think soon going to issue guidance on when and when not to prosicute.

And Jed I must say that's very cinical. Until fresh evidence comes along we have to take what he said at face value.”

“Well if he is to be dealt with as any other murderer then lets hope he gets as lenient a sentence as the dog murdering PC, I for one somehow doubt it though!!!”

“In the eyes of the law there is no concept of a 'mercy killing', it is judged as either manslaughter or indeed murder.
Mr Gosling admitted on national TV to a criminal offence, therefore the law HAS to be seen to be done. What his penalty will be; possibly a suspended sentence and warning. It is a very topical subject at the moment and I do wonder why mention it now.......only he knows!”

“This is the man who flew off in a rage in every interview he did....spitting bile and shouting he 'would never reveal the identity of the man he murdered'.

Now the day after the Police seized his autobiography 'bedroom olympics' he is claiming he TOLD the police his lovers identity?!!!

This man is clearly very ill or deranged but I guess it is an emotive subject and he is getting on age wise. Even so he isn't doing a good job in endearing himself to anyone with his overall manner.

What he did was murder.... Harold Shipman may well have had pacts with his victims if we are believe Goslings word. People kill their lovers out of jealously, rage.... etc so we will never know if the pact existed!

Even s I wouldn't expect Gosling to be imprisoned as he clearly hasn't got all of his marbles and who would want to see the taxpayer foot a £1m a year bill to accommodate him at Her Majesty's Pleasure?.”

“Fred how heartless can you get?”

“Fred,
We all have to die,preferably in our sleep.
I have long since stopped believing in God....especially the Christian idea that was taught to me long ago...Loving ? Caring ?Merciful ?...you really have to have a mind like a 7 year old child to believe it.
Loving,caring,merciful...a ptetty good description of a man who when he had just been told that his friend (Who was in intense pain.)was beyond medical help....gave him peace at last by ending his suffering.
At what cost to himself,he has obviously had his "crime ????" on his conscience ever since.?”

“I feel really sorry for Ray , he seems such a lovely caring man ... He did this act out of love for his lover, and has and will live with this for the rest of his life...
God bless you Ray ,I have never met you ,but I think you should just be left alone ..
Your a brave man .....”

“Fred must be nice to see things just black and white,if only life was that simple....”
