So Prout didn't confess because he failed the lie detector then? And Eddie correctly alerted in the lounge despite the fact the murder occurred elsewhere and there is no account that the body was ever brought into the house?
Really?
Prout did poorly in the lie detector test and when his then girlfriend Debbie Garlick went to visit him in prison afterwards he broke down and confessed to her what he had done. The police were then called to pursue matters further in an attempt to find Kate's body.
It is true that Kate was strangled in the shooting lodge which was a short distance from the family home. Prout had a history of violence towards his wife and attempted to strangle her on another occasion. It was following this earlier assault that Kate said she wanted a divorce and her share of their combined assets. It was after this that Prout formulated the plan to get rid of his wife.
It has never been made public whether the killing of Kate Prout in the shooting lodge was premeditated or as a result of yet another heated argument which turned violent. All that we know is that Prout strangled her and wrapped her body in some plastic sheeting and rolled it up in curtains taken from the lodge. Prout placed the body in the back of his Land Rover while he went to the pub. He later used one of his mechanical excavators to dig a deep hole in the pheasant pens where he buried Kate's body. It has never been revealed whether her body was taken into the farm bungalow but then why would he?
The period of time between the strangulation and the burial was more than sufficient for cadaverine to form and thereafter contaminate everything it came into contact with including Adrian Prout and his clothing.
