Something on the side?

GP Colin Shawcross Murdered for an Affair

You have to wonder whether it’s worth it. Sure, there’s the pulsating pleasure of illicit sex – the kind of steaming passion you haven’t felt since you were a desperate teenager… but what when it goes wrong?

GP Colin Shawcross is merely the latest addition to the pile of dead bodies caused by extramarital sex. The good doctor became friends with nurse Julie Hill after taking her out to dinner when she was moving jobs from the Sheffield Hallam hospital.

Of course, you can’t have dinner with a chick these days without it ending up in a hotel room and it was little surprise when the two found themselves in a series of steamy clinches. Dr. Shawcross was unusually frank about his affair – showing a little bit more honour than many of those who’ve found their way onto these pages. He told his wife about the affair and moved out of the family home.

For once, a love that blossomed illicitly seemed to have a bit of hope for the future.

Meanwhile, Hill too confessed to her husband. But rather than the relatively civilised and adult arrangement that the Shawcrosses managed to find for themselves, Hill’s husband took it all rather badly.

In a series of text messages, he threatened suicide until Hill moved back in with him out of fear. But under such circumstances, things could never last. When at last she announced that she was leaving him for good, it unleashed a tidal wave of fury. He smashed her mobile phone against a wall… threw her personal effects from the window… and then set out to find Dr. Shawcross.

We can only speculate what went through the doctor’s mind as the enraged husband approached his car. Seconds later, he was beyond thought – his skull split by a pick-axe handle. After the savage attack, his killer bundled his body into the boot and attempted to bury it in nearby woodland.

The case, as they say, continues.

So another tale of extramarital sex ends in tragedy and death. When will you people learn? But even so – you’re still interested, aren’t you? Why not tell us about it in person before you wind up in these pages as just another statistic…
