Robert Richens was apprehended by UK police last year for brutally murdering his former girlfriend. Recently, Richens appeared at Oxford Crown Court for sentencing, being sent down with a life sentence on February 6, 2026. In new footage captured by the police officers who brought Richens in, it was revealed that the killer had something else on his mind at the time.<\/p>\n

In a clip that has gone viral in recent days, Richens was caught sobbing midway through being arrested, blurting out that he was going to \u2018miss GTA\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018Callous\u2019 and \u2018Merciless\u2019 Murder<\/p>\n

In a report published by Thames Valley Police<\/a> in the United Kingdom, itwas confirmed that Robert Richens, aged 35, was jailed for life, with a minimum term of 16 years, for the 2025 murder of his former partner.<\/p>\n

Per the report, Richens had called emergency services on the morning of May 30 and stressed that he\u2019d accidentally killed someone. Upon investigation, it was found that his former partner, Rachael Vaughan, had been subject to a \u2018sustained assault\u2019 that had left her lifeless.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the clip that surfaced recently on social media, showing Richens sobbing and lamenting the loss of Grand Theft Auto 6<\/a>:<\/p>\n

A man in the UK was arrested for murder, and his only concern was that he\u2019d miss GTA VI as he\u2019d likely get life in prison. <\/p>\n

In the video, a police officer casually asks what GTA he\u2019s referring to, and when Richens simply said, \u2018Six,\u2019 the officer brushed it off, suggesting he \u2018had ages\u2019 until the game came out.<\/p>\n

Richens won\u2019t only miss Grand Theft Auto 6, but likely Grand Theft Auto 7 too, if Rockstar\u2019s<\/a> release cadence is anything to go by. While UK prisons permit games consoles, they\u2019re only allowed older units that cannot connect to the internet, which includes the likes of the PlayStation 2 and original Xbox.<\/p>\n

During sentencing, the judge labelled Richens\u2019 actions as callous and merciless for the crime he\u2019d pleaded guilty to.<\/p>\n
