- > His confession to Ms Muirhead came after she spotted him appear visibly tense when a police car drove past them.
“I asked him, “What is it? What is going on? What is it you’re not telling me?”,” she told the newspaper.
“I said if we were going to be together and be a team, he needed to tell me what was wrong and I’d support him.
“He started having a panic attack. He was gasping and started wailing. Then he told me what he’d done something that he’d got away with for years.”- (he'd drunkdrove, hit a cyclist, then left him to die, then went back to hidden the body)
- obviously in some sense, the fact that the woman said "I'll support you" but then turned him into the cops was a betrayal
- but to not do so would have been a betrayal of her society
- and also this is sort of how justice works among non-psychopaths—bearing the guilt and dishonesty of having done this, without being able to have someone else know it, without being able to be forgiven and loved, was too hard for this man, so he basically had to tell her at that point
