Geoffrey Payne talks for the first time about the night his wife was killed. The judge thought it was he who killed his wife. Now he wrote to a magazine from the prison (监狱) about what happened on the night of 13 October 1999.
I had to stay late at the hospital that night to do an operation. I finally left at about 11 p.m.
I drove home slowly because the weather was terrible— the wind was blowing and it was raining heavily. I was turning into our road when a man suddenly ran in front of my car. I almost hit him but I stopped just in time. I was frightened and the man looked frightened too. I got out of the car but he ran away before I could ask if he was all right. It was very strange.
When I got home, the lights were on but it was very quiet. I called to my wife but there was no answer. Then I remembered that she was out at a concert.
I was still very upset about what happened on the road, so I made myself a drink. Then I went upstairs to have a bath. I saw that the window in the bedroom was open. This was strange because my wife always locked the doors and windows before she went out. She was afraid of burglars (夜盗者). When I went to close it, I found Ellen. She was lying on the floor. There was blood everywhere. I rushed over and felt for her pulse but she was dead. I sat on the floor beside her body and was too frightened to do anything.
The next thing I knew, the sky was getting light. I can’t remember a thing about that night. In the morning I phoned the police. They arrived about half an hour after I phoned them. But it seemed like hours. During that time I tried hard to remember anything I could about the night before. I couldn’t stop thinking about the man in the road. What was he doing at that time of night in our quiet neighbourhood? Why did he look so frightened? Why did he run away?

Dear Sir or Madam,
Last Thursday, I travelled on the 8:40 a.m. train from Glasgow to London King’s Cross and I was very unhappy with the service provided by your company (公司).
The train was forty minutes late leaving Glasgow, and although the guard apologized, we were not given any reasons for the delay (误点). We then had further delays when the train crew (乘务组人员) changed at Preston and had to wait another thirty minutes. As a result, I missed my flight from London Healthrow to Frankfurt and had to wait for several hours.
What’s more, the service on the train was also very poor. The trip takes over five hours, unluckily, there was no restaurant car on the train and only a bar with soft drinks. Worst of all, the air conditioning broke down half-way through the trip and it got hotter and hotter in the train. However, there was no apology for this, and before we reached King’s Cross, the temperature was over 40℃.
In view of the poor service, I feel I am entitled to compensation (有权索赔).
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
David Robertson
