On Friday the 18th November convicted millionaire wife killer Adrian Prout 49 returned to his former £1.6million home in handcuffs to show police where he buried her body in 2007.

Having finally admitted murder, jailed Prout led detectives to the spot where he concealed Kate, 55, in woods on the 276-acre estate after strangling her during a row over a divorce settlement.

The balding businessman made the admission three months after Debbie, 40, shamed him into taking a lie detector test – which he then failed.

Debbie, who began dating Prout a year after he murdered Kate, had even launched a campaign to win his freedom.
He was jailed for life last year despite his wife’s corpse not being found.

Debbie offered a £10,000 reward for any information proving him innocent.
Heartbroken Debbie yesterday told of the moment he finally admitted he had been lying to her all along.
She said: “He just confessed. He said: ‘I’m sorry, I did.’ Myself and my family are obviously devastated.
“My heart goes out to Kate and her family. I hope this gives them the chance to grieve properly for their sister and have a proper burial and somewhere where they can lay flowers.”
After the confession, Debbie warned Prout she intended to tell police immediately that he had admitted the murder.
Friends said yesterday the devastated mum-of-three had changed her Facebook status to single.
One pal said: “Debbie’s in turmoil. She’s been extremely loyal to Prout.
“I think Prout finally decided the game was up and he had to confess when people close to him started losing faith after he failed the lie test.”
Yesterday morning, Prout was taken from prison to his former marital home, Redhill Farm in Redmarley, Glos, handcuffed to a detective.

He was then driven up a dirt track beside the farmhouse in a police car and across a ploughed field to woods.
Less than half an hour later, he was driven back across the same field before being returned to Rye Hill Prison near Rugby, Warks. Kate’s grieving family had pleaded with Prout to end their misery and tell police where he had hidden her body after a judge jailed him for a minimum of 18 years.
But he insisted Kate had walked out leaving her handbag, phone, passport and purse, which were found at the farm.
Prout remained silent even after failing a lie detector test which Debbie persuaded him to take three months ago.
Even the polygraphy expert who tested him said yesterday he begged the killer to admit his guilt to police and his fiancee.
Don Cargill, chairman of the British and European Polygraph Association, said: “I told him that according to my tests, he was clearly a murderer who should immediately do the honourable thing by Debbie, the police and Kate’s family.”
The farm was sold last month after being put on the market for £1.6million.
Debbie and 21-month-old Evie moved out two weeks ago to a smaller home in nearby Kempley.
Hairdresser Beccy Webb, 47, who lives less than half a mile from the farm, said last night: “I cannot believe she lived here in the village.
“A lot of people around here thought he did it.
“It is no surprise to me because I knew he had done it. But there will be people here who are really shocked.
“People trusted him – including his partner Debbie. She must be devastated to believe somebody for that long then to find out it was a lie.”
Parish councillor Mike Phillips, 76, who also lives in the village, added: “Everyone was shocked to learn that, having said for so long he had never done it, he had confessed.”
Divorced Prout originally bought the farm with teacher wife Kate for £820,000 in 2004 – four years after he and the farmer’s daughter wed.
He ran a successful pipe-laying firm and pheasant shoot at the farm and Kate had her own blueberry plantation.
But their marriage began to fall apart in 2006 and violent Prout was desperate to divorce Kate on terms which would allow him to remain at the farm.
It is thought he has admitted he strangled Kate in a shooting lodge at the farm on Bonfire Night 2007 after she demanded an £800,000 clean-break divorce he could not afford without selling the estate.
Kate’s brother Richard Wakefield said in a family statement last night: “We have always wanted Adrian to tell us where Kate’s body is. However, this news has obviously come as something of a shock to us. We would like to be given some time to come to terms with this news.”
Det Supt Simon Atkinson commented: “A detailed search of the location will be conducted next week. However, this will be a painstaking process so is likely to take some time.”

Adrian Prout Confession

Last Friday the 18th November convicted millionaire wife killer Adrian Prout 49 returned to his former £1.6million home in handcuffs to show police where he buried her body in 2007.

Having finally admitted murder, jailed Prout led detectives to the spot where he concealed Kate, 55, in woods on the 276-acre estate after strangling her during a row over a divorce settlement.

The balding businessman made the admission taking a lie detector test – which he then failed.

British and European Polygraph Association chairman Don Cargill, recalled: “I said, ‘You’re a murderer.’ He just said ‘Ummmh.’ So I said, ‘Are you saying my test is wrong?’

“He actually replied, ‘No, your test is not wrong.’”

Don, also said: “He smiled in what was one of the most surreal and chilling experiences of my life.

“There was no emotion at all, he was really calm and cool, chillingly so.

“He’d been so used to being in control. He didn’t fool the jury but he’s fooled a lot of other people, his family and friends and his fiancee.

“I can understand why people fell for his lies – but of course, you can’t fool a polygraph.”

Debbie Garlick, who allegedly began dating Prout a year after he murdered Kate, had even launched a campaign to win his freedom.

He was jailed for life in February 2010 despite his wife’s corpse not being found.

Debbie offered a £10,000 reward for any information proving him innocent.

Heartbroken Debbie told of the moment he finally admitted he had been lying to her all along.

She said: “He just confessed. He said: ‘I’m sorry, I did.’ Myself and my family are obviously devastated.

“My heart goes out to Kate and her family. I hope this gives them the chance to grieve properly for their sister and have a proper burial and somewhere where they can lay flowers.”

After the confession, Debbie warned Prout she intended to tell police immediately that he had admitted the murder. Unknown to Debbie two police detectives had already been to visit him at Garth Prison where he had admitted to them of murdering his estranged wife Kate.

Friends said the devastated mum-of-three had changed her Facebook status to single.

One pal said: “Debbie’s in turmoil. She’s been extremely loyal to Prout.

“I think Prout finally decided the game was up and he had to confess when people close to him started losing faith after he failed the lie test.”

Prout was taken from Garth prison, Preston to his former marital home, Redhill Farm in Redmarley, Glos, handcuffed to a detective.

Damon Mark Lewis

Today, I’ve unusually found myself busily plodding along tediously delving deep into the circumstance’s surrounding the US felony convictions of a British citizen – A ROGUE TRADER.

Damon Mark Lewis, the charismatic 32 year-old 6ft-4in tall, was the proprietor and carrying on business as Celtic Crown Management Inc. (also known as: Celtic Crown Capital and Celtic Crown Aggressive Fund, LP.) situated in Texas, United States of America.

On the 22^nd December 2004, he entered a plea of guilty in the 291^st District Court in Dallas, Texas, to a first degree felony count of securities fraud and a second degree felony count of misappropriation of fiduciary property. He was sentenced to a 25 year term of imprisonment for securities fraud and a further 20 year term of imprisonment for misappropriation of fiduciary property.

Damon again pleaded guilty on 3^rd February 2005 in the same court to first degree felony theft, and three first degree felonies of securities fraud. Consequently, on that occasion he received a further - four 20 year terms of imprisonment for these offences.

By Damon’s own admissions “A Welshman who, after choosing to seek his fortune in the United States, became embroiled in a prosecutor’s net and now wants to avoid playing by local rules.” So with a touch of arrogance he’s now vigorously protesting his innocence loudly from the roofs tops.

Painstakingly and thoroughly, I have sifted through his entire dossier of court papers – reams and reams of it. Annoyingly, time and time again, everywhere I look it’s the same old story “entered guilty pleas – entered guilty pleas – entered guilty pleas.” Common sense should prevail that no sane person admits to a crime which they hadn’t actually committed.

Knowing only to well, he was up-to-his-neck in it and there is overwhelming damaging evidence personally inciting Damon in serious felony wrongdoing. So armed with the knowledge if he took his chances and were to proceed to trial by jury, there was a strong possibility they would eventually find him guilty. He would have definitely received a much more severe sentence of imprisonment. In a nutshell, either way he knew due to the severity of his felony crimes, one way or another, inevitably he would eventually be going to prison.

Unbelievably, even during the course of his numerous court appearances he constantly displayed what one can best describe as little or no respect for the US judicial system and their due process of law. Often throwing his dummy out of the pram, with such cocky arrogance he felt it necessary to heavily criticize the presiding federal district judge Ms Susan Hawk, together with the Prosecuting Attorney Jeremy Bray, even his very own defence Attorney David Finn and everyone else who crossed his path.

These eminent Attorneys had seen enough of Damon’s arrogant cocky attitude. Out of the shadows came into the frame “no nonsense” Prosecuting Attorney Ms Tina Yoo. She’s a tough nut to crack and every time he threw a tantrum, Ms Yoo would hammer him were it hurts. He would inevitably face literally loads of further additional felony charges. Some idiots never learn!

The US authorities give him every opportunity to co-operate with them and knew the consequences if he refused. Yet, he unwisely blatantly decided not to. Now he faces the repercussions of his crime – a lengthy term of imprisonment in a US federal prison.

He will serve at least thirty years imprisonment in a US federal prison, before parole will eventually be granted. But, this by no means is guaranteed.
