LISTEN: Double killer Gary Allen confesses to Samantha Class murder

WARNING: ADULT CONTENT AND OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE

This is how double killer Gary Allen (47) casually confessed to killing Hull mum-of-three Samantha Class to an undercover cop — ten years after he had been acquitted of her murder.

The recording has been released today after Allen was found guilty of murdering Ms Class in 1997 and Swinton mum Alena Grlakova in 2018. 

Allen was tried and acquitted of Ms Class’ murder in 2000.

In 2010, Humberside Police launched a one-year investigation into Allen to assess his danger to sex workers in the area, and to establish his innocence or guilt in connection to the killing of Ms Class.

Seven officers, who posed as Allen’s friends, took more than 400 hours of covert recordings of conversations with him.

In the confession recording, Allen tells the undercover officer: “Well, I’ll tell you the truth but you’re probably not gonna want to know me afterward, but if you wanna know, I’ll tell ya.”

Allen says that while having sex with Ms Class, the condom split.

He claims she became angry and threatened to report him for rape if he didn’t give her some money. 

“So I strangled her … and dumped her in the Humber,” he adds.

“Police had DNA an’ that but I weren’t on the database. The reason I weren’t on the database is because I were never in any trouble. I’ve not led a criminal lifestyle.”

Allen explains he was only caught by Humberside Police after his DNA was captured after a drink-driving offence.

The confession was made in 2010 but the Crown Prosecution Service did not reopen the investigation, believing they would not be able to secure a conviction, not revisiting the case until after the murder of Alena Grlakova was linked to Allen.
