The video quickly gained traction, prompting an array of reactions, with a user commenting, “brutal and surreal at the same time. the crime is horrific, and the GTA comment just shows a disturbing disconnect from reality. chilling how someone can be that detached in such a moment.”

“He actually might be released from prison before GTA 6 gets released,” another user commented. “On the bright side, by the time he gets released, GTA 7 and Red Dead Redemption 3 will be out,” a third user reacted.

According to the report, Richens called the police from his residence and told them that he murdered a woman. Police arrived with the South Central Ambulance Service and attempted to provide lifesaving treatment, but the victim, Rachael Vaughan, 40, was pronounced dead.

Richens was arrested later that day and formally charged on May 31. Additional footage showed him at a police station, where he cried and said he would miss playing the video game Grand Theft Auto. When an officer asked which version he meant, Richens replied that it was GTA 6. The officer responded by telling him that the game’s release was still a long way off, the report added.
