Elderly Britons' Bondage Dungeon Shut Down After One Measly Death

Chains sometimes get too tight. These things happen. Is this any reason to arrest law abiding retirees who are trying to supplement their insufficient pensions?

AN ELDERLY couple who were running a bondage business from their home when a client died during a sex game have spoken of their 11-month nightmare after being arrested on suspicion of murder.

Police quizzed Colin and Ann Richardson after 61-year-old jeweller Lionel Webster choked to death when a padlocked chain around his neck became too tight.

[...]

Mr and Mrs Richardson, who live next to Barlaston First School and charged clients £150-an-hour, were arrested after the tragedy on October 26 last year.

During the session, father-of-two Mr Webster had dressed as a military prisoner in an orange boiler suit as Mrs Richardson pretended she was his superior officer.

Mrs Richardson, aged 68, of Broughton Crescent, said: "To be arrested on suspicion of murder and kept in a police cell for hours was frightening. It was the worst experience of my life."

[...]

Mr Richardson, aged 75, said: "We haven't done anything since Lionel's death. We couldn't face it."

Mr Richardson today reassured parents that the couple's adult interests are no danger to children at the school.

Very reassuring!
