A married police officer was slammed for shedding crocodile tears after being found not guilty of murdering his lover, with the victim's family accusing him of 'robbing the kids of their mom.' 


Timothy Brehmer, 41, admitted to the manslaughter of nurse Claire Parry in a Dorset pub car park as she revealed their 11-year affair to his wife.


Brehmer claims her death was an accident as he tried to bundle the 41-year old out of the car. 


And a jury at Salisbury Crown Court took two hours and 50 minutes to find Brehmer not guilty of Ms. Parry's murder in a unanimous verdict.

However, Brehmer is still going to face a lengthy jail term as he admitted to the manslaughter of his alleged lover. 


The family of the nurse condemned the Dorset police officer for being "the worst kind of thief" who "robbed her children of a million hugs and kisses from their mummy".


Ms. Parry's husband Andrew Parry launched a scathing attack on Brehmer as he read his victim impact statement to jurors, claiming the police officer told "lie after lie" and shed "crocodile tears" during the trial.

The Dorset Police constable said: "Claire meant so much to so many people and he has robbed me of the opportunity to save my marriage.


"This trial has been a whole new level of pain and humiliation for me, listening to Brehmer tell lie after lie."


The devastated dad says he was heartbroken after his daughter woke up crying for their mom and how his son thought that he was joking when he told him that their mom is dead. 


He said: "I was so useless. I have never felt so lonely."


Jane and Philip Jordan, Mrs Parry's parents, added: "This man has caused devastating changes to our lives which we will always live with and suffer."

Defending, Joanna Martin said she hoped Judge Jacobs accepted Brehmer's remorse to be genuine, saying "it will live with him long past any sentence".


Brehmer's mother, Rosalyn Chivers, and his sister Kirsten cried and hugged each other moments after the verdict was delivered.


The court had previously heard the married officer, who had been having an affair with Claire for 11 years behind his wife Martha's back, broke down when paramedics rushed to the scene.

The officer also said she has got kids after he was accused of strangling the mum-of-two in a Citroen C1.


Jurors were shown bodycam footage of Brehmer crying and saying "I'm sorry" as officers told him he would be arrested.


During his trial, Brehmer told the court he was trying to push Mrs. Parry out of his car in a struggle after she confronted him because she was upset and angry at discovering his previous affairs.

When asked what happened, crying Brehmer replied: "We've been having an affair for years.


"She forced me to meet her, she was going to tell my wife, I was going to lose my boy.


"I met her here, she was going through my phone… She was going to tell my wife."


The court was told Brehmer said to a paramedic "what's my mother going to say?" and repeatedly told them "she was so, so angry".

Mrs. Parry was strangled in the car park of the Horns Inn pub in West Parley, Dorset, around 3 pm on May 9 and died in hospital the next day after surfing from 'unsurvivable brain injuries.' 


A post-mortem examination concluded that the cause of death was a brain injury caused by compression of the neck.

Brehmer had told wife Martha at around 12 pm he was going to pick up some steaks for a family BBQ planned later that day.


Around three hours later, she received a message saying "I am cheating on you" from her husband's phone.

Reportedly it was Claire who sent the text to Martha after she was angry over her lover.


It is allegedly reported that Brehmer was reportedly having an affair with two other women and was dubbed "Mr. Smooth" for his string of mistresses.


Dorset Police PC Martin Brown told jurors he recognized Brehmer when called to the scene.

He added: "I said [to my colleague] 'doesn't that guy look like Tim Brehmer?' and as I approached it looked more like Tim.


"I said 'are you OK Tim? What's happened?' and he looked at me and said 'I can't remember' and began to cry hysterically."


Last month Timothy Brehmer was dismissed without notice from Dorset Police following a disciplinary hearing.
