British Airways Pilot Robert Brown’s Disturbing 999 Call Unveiled After Gruesome Murder of Wife Joanna Simpson in Ascot Home

In a disturbing revelation, a recently aired ITV documentary showcased the harrowing 999 call made by British Airways pilot Robert Brown after he brutally bludgeoned his wife, Joanna Simpson, to death on Halloween.

The chilling call, part of The British Airways Killer documentary, exposes the eerie calmness with which Brown reported a ‘domestic issue’ to authorities while concealing the gruesome reality of the crime he had committed.

The Disturbing Crime:

Robert Brown, a British Airways pilot, took the life of his wife Joanna Simpson by beating her 14 times with a claw hammer.

The horrific incident unfolded in their Ascot residence, with their two young children present in a nearby playroom. The disturbing details include Brown burying his wife’s body in Windsor Great Park, further emphasizing the heinous nature of the crime.

The Eerie 999 Call:

The newly revealed 999 call captures the surreal moment as Brown calmly informs the call operator about a ‘serious domestic’ issue with his ‘ex-wife.’

Strikingly composed, he expresses a desire to arrange an ‘appointment’ with the police to discuss the matter further.

When pressed for details, Brown repeatedly evades questions, cryptically stating, ‘I really don’t want to say anything actually.’

The call becomes increasingly ominous as he acknowledges the seriousness of the incident and confesses, ‘Well, one of us is’ when asked if harm had occurred.

Police Interview and the ‘No Comment’ Stance:

Subsequent footage from the documentary depicts Brown’s uncooperative stance during police interviews.

Detective Constable Melanie Ward, desperately seeking information about Joanna’s whereabouts, repeatedly encounters Brown’s stoic ‘no comment’ responses. Even when questioned about the severity of the situation, Brown remains silent, adding an air of mystery to the ongoing investigation.

DC Ward’s Perspective:

DC Ward, reflecting on the interview, expressed her initial hope of gaining answers from Brown, given his voluntary surrender to the police.

However, his consistent use of ‘no comment’ left her taken aback. She described the encounter as a moment of potential remorse, yet Brown’s refusal to provide any information hinted at an underlying sense of control on his part.

Dark Revelations from Friends and Family:

The documentary sheds light on the ominous undertones in Brown and Simpson’s relationship, as revealed by Simpson’s friend, Hetti Barkworth-Nanton.

Simpson confided in her friend about Brown holding a knife to her chest during their time together, describing Brown’s eyes as turning ‘dark’ and expressing a chilling intent.

The revelations paint a disturbing picture of a relationship marked by fear and manipulation.

Family’s Realization and Legal Battles:

Joanna Simpson’s mother, Diana Parkes, narrates the heartbreaking moment when she received a call alerting her to the police tape surrounding her daughter’s house.

Convinced that Brown had committed the unthinkable, she declared, ‘He’s killed her.’

The documentary further delves into the legal battles surrounding Brown’s case, where he admitted to manslaughter but was acquitted of murder due to claims of an adjustment disorder stemming from their divorce.

Legal Standoff and Risk Assessment:

Justice Secretary Alex Chalk’s decision to block Brown’s release from prison sparked a legal showdown. Brown, sentenced to 26 years, had become eligible for automatic release.

The Justice Secretary’s move was based on reasonable fears of Brown posing a threat, including the potential for murder, manslaughter, or threats to kill.

Brown’s refusal to cooperate with prison psychiatrists and psychologists was cited, highlighting concerns about his ‘arrogance and narcissism.’
