Regin Rajan put his hands up from the start, righteously confessing to killing his wife, saying that he had his reasons, that he did the crime and he’d do the time.
So that was that. Until it wasn’t that, at all. The 43-year-old hit reverse and tried out a completely new narrative to the following effect: He didn’t murder his wife Deepa, he only bought the carving knife because she wanted it, he only researched prison conditions in Ireland because he watched a Netflix series on something like that, and his palmprint was only on the murder weapon in his wife’s blood because she grabbed his hand and pulled it across her own throat after he took the knife from her.
Take us with you this summer.
