Couldn't agree more. But at least he didn't tarnish the name of KGV as well!

There must be more to this story than meets the eye, as I assume will be revealed in due course.

If one looks at how this was executed one you could only conclude that he desperately wanted to be caught. One explanation is that he has gone off the reservation and will spend the rest of his days in a straight jacket but there is another far more plausible explanation.

While his career as a so-called 'high achiever' was more self-promotion than reality, he is no man's fool. That said seems to have struggled these past 4 years to maintain the image. His life basically fell to pieces and through a healthy dose of delusion and fantasy he envisaged writing and getting his novel published. Well he wrote it but couldn't get it published.

Nothing like a bit of publicity to get over that little speed bump.

Being delusional, he probably expects to do 18 months and get on with being a (in)famous murder mystery novelist. Sadly the reality is that he could face 25-30 years porridge although as a first time offender with no minors involved he may get away with 10 years.

Certainly if the beak believes his motivation was self-publicity, a very large book will be hurled in his direction.
