Timothy Brehmer (Dorset Police/PA)
Disgraced police officer Timothy Brehmer was paid for two months after he admitted killing his lover in a pub car park, it has been confirmed.
Dorset Police said misconduct proceedings were “fast-tracked” the moment “man whore” Brehmer entered a guilty plea to manslaughter at Winchester Crown Court on July 8 over the manslaughter of mother-of-two Claire Parry, 41.
But rules meant they had to continue paying Brehmer until he could be formally dismissed.
Brehmer strangled nurse Mrs Parry in his car at the Horns Inn in West Parley, Dorset, on May 9 2020, moments after their affair was exposed to his wife.
