This is the harrowing moment a man tells a 999 operator that he has killed his wife.
In the final episode of BBC's Ambulance, viewers were shocked when call handler Frank took the chilling call.
The M.E.N reports the caller told Frank he could no longer cope with the demands of caring for his elderly wife.
"I've killed my wife," he said.
"She can't walk. Incontitent. And I can't cope. So I've killed her."
When asked about weapons, the man said: "Only a lump of iron."
As Frank assures the man that help is on the way, the caller adds: "There's a little girl's party next door, don't use sirens and spoil it.
"She'd dead, that's all there is."
Later in the programme, Frank goes into the break room to gather his thoughts.
He then reveals that it is not the first time he has taken a call of the same nature.
Justin, a specialist paramedic based in the Emergency Operation Centre (EOC), revealed the impact calls like this can have on staff.
He said: "No one can do this job for any length of time and not come away a little bit a changed person.
"They have heard things that most humans don't want to hear.
"I don't think anyone has the perfect emotional bullet proof vest.
"Something gets to you every now and again and it just tips you over the edge.
"I don't think you can ever fully detach yourself fully from what you hear on those telephone calls .
"I think you need to have that empathy, but then you move on, because there is always one more 999 call waiting."
