High-Flying Helicopter Cop Brought Down To Ground After Killing Lover
She was angry that she was not the only one he was cheating on his wife with.
The Dorset Constabulary Police Officer, Timothy Brehmer, was 41-years-old when he got into an argument with his long-term lover. It was about 3 pm on May 9th, 2020. Claire Parry, had been looking through his phone, purportedly looking for messages from another woman who she thought Brehmer was sleeping with (and she was right — there were others). She was taking the opportunity to text “I’m cheating on you from Brehmer’s phone to his wife, Martha, who was a detective officer in the same force as her husband.
Police Constable Brehmer and Nurse Claire Parry sat in his Citroen C1 car, in the car park of a pub, the Horns Inn at West Parley, Dorset. Brehmer had told his wife that he was going out to buy steak for a barbeque dinner they were planning, but he was secretly going to meet his lover.
When Brehmer found out that Mrs Parry had sent that message, they struggled, and in the tussle, he killed her. Brehmer had choked her to death. Before the Police and Ambulance arrived on the scene, Brehmer stabbed himself several times in the arm. He later claimed that Mrs Parry had stabbed him.
