A man in Oxfordshire, England, was filmed crying when he was arrested for killing his ex-girlfriend - but his tears had nothing to do with his alleged crime. Instead, he was distraught over the realization he will now miss the impending release of the new Grand Theft Auto video game. The Thames Valley Police's Major Crime Unit announced in a press release on Friday, February 6, that Robert Richens had been sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 16 years and one month for the May 2025 murder of his girlfriend, Rachael Vaughan. The press release noted that "Richens pleaded guilty to one count of murder, at a previous hearing on 12 December 2025" at Oxford Crown Court. Richens was arrested in May 2025 in connection to Vaughan's death. At the time, bodycam footage obtained by The Independent showed Richens in tears as he said, "I'm gonna miss GTA."

What are you talking about, Robert?" an officer was heard asking before Richens revealed that he was talking about the oft-delayed Grand Theft Auto VI. The new video game is scheduled to be released on November 19. The officer then told Richens that he had "ages" until the video game would be released. However, Richens predicted he would get a long sentence by saying, "I'm gonna get life." "Robert Richens on the 30th of May 2025 said the following, 'I accidentally killed her. At least I admitted to it. I'm going to miss GTA, I'm going to get life,'" the officer then said in the footage, memorializing the statement. Richens continued to cry as he said, "I can't get it out of my head." He then added, "I could have went on the run." Richens called authorities on May 30, 2025, at 6:26 a.m. to report that he had killed someone, according to the release. "You're not going to believe this, and I think I accidentally killed someone - she's not moving," Richens told the operator, according to the BBC. "I am being honest because I am ashamed of what I've done, I did not mean to kill this person."

"There were 64 sites of blunt force trauma," the prosecutor added. Moore went on to say that Richens spent five hours at Vaughan's home after her killing to clean up her body, change her clothes and clean the residence. Senior investigating officer, Detective Chief Inspector Stuart May, issued a statement following Richens' sentencing. "My thoughts remain with Rachael Vaughan's family and with everyone who loved her as they continue to face what is an unimaginable loss," he said, according to the press release. "Rachael was taken from them in the very place she should have felt safest - her own home," May continued. "Robert Richens' actions were heartless. He left Rachael alone in her house, made no attempt to help her or seek medical attention and he only contacted police when he had nowhere else to turn." He concluded, "Today's sentence means that Richens will now face the consequences of his merciless actions."
