The couple's daughter and son`in`law are convicted of murder mothvated by | :00:12. | :00:27. | |
greed. They are cold and calculated. They killed the Wycherleys `nd lived | :00:28. | :00:35. | |
off their money for 15 years. Also tonight, an inquest heard that the | :00:36. | :00:39. | |

Good evening and welcome to Friday's programme. | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
A husband and wife who buried the bodhes | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
of her elderly parents in the back garden of their home in Mansfield | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
Susan and Christopher Edwards shot them so | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
they could get their hands on their money after they thought thdy had | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
They literally got away with murder for 15 years | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
by duping relatives into thhnking the couple were still alive. | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
Their downfall came as the date approached when | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
Susan Edward's father would have been 100 and would receive | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
A reporter is in Mansfield for us this evening. It is beautiftl here | :01:49. | :02:06. | |
tonight. It is difficult to imagine that a terrible secret was heading | :02:07. | :02:14. | |
here for 15 years. A couple murdered and buried in the back garddn. | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
The police found the remains of the elderly couple here in Forrest | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
They had each been shot twice and wrapped in duvets. | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
This is where the remains of William and Patricia Wycherley lay | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
in their back garden grave undiscovered for 15 years. | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
No one in this tiny cul`de`sac, or the wider world, suspected ` thing. | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
Their daughter and son`in`l`w, Susan and Christopher Edwards, | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
formerly of Dagenham, were today convicted of murder by | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
They decided on their coursd of action, which was to travel to | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
Mansfield, kill this elderlx couple who they knew would not be lissed, | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
I would describe that as pretty cold and calculatdd. | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
The police said that the Wycherleys, aged 85 and 63, were each shot twice | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
Colt Commando revolver, like this one, was fired at them. | :03:03. | :03:11. | |
Some of the bullets recoverdd from the grave. | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
The police say that the shooting happened on thd May Day | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
The Edwards say that they btried the Wycherleys the next weekend | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
The grave had been dug in the daytime, by agreement, | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
and the couple then sat and watched the television together. | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
The Eurovision Song contest, they recall. | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
They set their alarm for the early hours of the | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
following morning so they could get up and bury the bodies. | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
The motive was money and revenge, as Susan Edwards thought th`t she | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
had been cheated out of inheritance cash by her parents. | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
The day after the Bank Holiday shootings, Susan Edwards closed | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
the Wycherleys account at the Halifax in Mansfield. | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
She set up a bogus joint account with her mother. | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
The Wycherleys? pension money was paid in. | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
In 2005, the Edwards forged the Wycherleys? signatures | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
They raked in a total of around ?245,000 over 15 years. | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
They sent Christmas cards to relatives to convince them that | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
In one, saying it is good to see them with such zest. | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
Over the years, the Edwards came back regularly to the house to check | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
the garden, telling the neighbours that the Wycherleys | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
had moved to Blackpool, Mordcombe, or were travelling in Ireland. | :04:32. | :04:39. | |
It is quite astonishing, in that particular area gunshot noises or | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
someone digging the back garden to hide bodies seems very unbelievable. | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
She was a former librarian and former police secretary. | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
He was an invoice clerk working in London. | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
In one two`year period spending ?14,000 on memorabilia conndcted to | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
She was a bit odd and he used to do all the shopping. | :05:07. | :05:17. | |
You would see him walk out and she would walk behind. | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
If they were going away, he would go in front and shd would | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
He would say good morning very quietly. | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
His wife was always a coupld of steps behind him. | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
The Edwards fled to France for a year after the Pensions | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
Authority asked to interview William Wycherley so he could get a 100th | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
Christopher Edwards, running out of money, confessed to his stepmother | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
They gave themselves up by e`mail and travelled back to | :05:48. | :05:56. | |
They don't appear to have m`ny friends, they are not close to any | :05:57. | :06:05. | |
other family members, they `re very isolated, they are very togdther. | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
It seems that everything that they do is together | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
In a statement, two of William Wycherleys? nieces said | :06:14. | :06:35. | |
The Wycherleys? remains are still with the police. | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
They are due to be released to their relatives for a proper buri`l. | :06:38. | :06:48. | |
Susan and Christopher Edwards were told by the judge that they can | :06:49. | :06:57. | |
expect a life sentence. Thex showed no emotion when the verdicts were | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
read out. They said that thdy still love each other and Christopher | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
picked his arm around Susan as they were led into the present. | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
