A veteran British broadcaster was arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of murder after admitting he smothered to death an ex-lover who had AIDS, police said.
Ray Gosling made the confession in a television program aired this week, saying he killed the unnamed man as he lay seriously ill in hospital 'in the early period of AIDS' - likely to be during the 1980s.
A spokeswoman for Nottinghamshire Police in central England, said officers 'this morning arrested a 70-year-old Nottingham man on suspicion of murder following comments on the BBC's Inside Out program on Monday evening.'
The 70-year-old's confession comes amid debate in Britain about so-called mercy killings, or whether people with terminal illnesses be allowed to commit assisted suicide.
In the television program, on the issue of assisted suicide, Gosling told how he took his lover's life.
