Boston, UK – A disturbing case has unfolded in Boston, UK, where a man allegedly killed his wife and dismembered her body into over 200 pieces. The man, identified as Nicholas Metson, exhibited chilling behavior after the murder, including searching the internet for questions like “Can someone haunt me after they die?” and “What benefits do I get if my wife has died?”, as reported by sources.
When authorities arrived at Metson’s residence for questioning, he callously lied about his wife’s whereabouts and even made a joke about her potentially being hidden under the bed. Further investigations revealed that Metson had researched topics such as “How to get rid of a dead body” and “Does God forgive murder”, raising more alarms about his mindset.
During police interrogations, Metson, 28, confessed to the heinous act of murdering his wife. The motive behind the crime remains unclear, but it has been disclosed that Metson sought assistance from his friend, Joshua Hancock, to dispose of his wife’s remains, which had been kept in their flat for nearly a week. Metson is set to face sentencing for his actions on April 8.
The victim, identified as Holly Bramley, was estranged from her family for over a year prior to her tragic demise, allegedly due to Metson’s controlling behavior. Concerns about Metson’s violent tendencies were brought to light, as he had a history of animal cruelty and previous offenses against partners in 2013, 2016, and 2017.
Prior to Bramley’s murder, Metson reportedly subjected her to horrific acts of animal abuse, using them as a means to “punish” her. In one instance, he placed her new puppy in a washing machine and her hamsters in a food blender and microwave, causing immense distress to the victim.
Following Bramley’s murder, Metson disposed of her body in a river with the help of his accomplice, only for her remains to be discovered in the village of Bassingham, located 12 miles away from their home. Details have emerged about the couple’s past, revealing that they were expected to meet at Boston College in Lincolnshire in 2016 and eventually married five years later in 2021.
