BBC broadcaster who claimed mercy killing charged with wasting police time

Britain's prosecution service says a veteran broadcaster who claimed in a TV documentary to have carried out the mercy killing of his dying lover has been charged with wasting police time. A prosecutor said Friday that 70-year-old Ray Gosling would appear at court to face the charge on Sept. 14. In a BBC program broadcast in February, Mr. Gosling said he had suffocated his partner, who was dying of AIDS. He did not give the name of the man, or say where or when the incident took place. The prosecutor said police had conducted an extensive investigation and concluded there was no evidence to support Gosling's claim.
