Brian Laundry wrote he killed girlfriend Gabby Petito as a mercy killing.....

"In the eight-page confession, Laundrie characterized Gabby Petito’s murder as a “merciful” act to take away her pain after she fell in a creek."

"He claimed that, when he pulled her from the water at Spread Creek, she was freezing cold, soaking wet, breathing heavily, and had a bump on her forehead that was growing in size."

“Her feet hurt, her wrist hurt but she was freezing, shaking violently, while carrying her she continually made sounds of pain, laying next to her she said little lapsing between violent shakes, gasping in pain, begging for an end to her pain,” he wrote."

"He claimed he tried to carry her to their car but his knees buckled out of exhaustion and shock, so he started a fire to keep her warm. He then claimed that Petito wouldn’t let him leave her side to seek help."

"Laundrie didn’t specify how he killed Petito but the injuries he claimed she was suffering were inconsistent with Petito’s autopsy."

"He claimed he killed himself “not because of a fear of punishment but rather because I cant stand to live another day without her” before asking for leniency on behalf of his family, who he immediately ran to after her death. “Please do not make life harder for my family, they lost a son and a daughter,” he wrote."

she cried at him to stop and she didn't mean to end her pain literally. It took several minutes for her to die so she was conscious enough to scream at him to stop it.

killing because she was in such pain. I'm sure she was in pain from the beating he gave her. It was cold blooded murder with no mercy ... POS!!!
