Detective Chief Inspector Neil Kimber said that the lies of the Grigs and the attempt to recruit a family member are “insult” to the mother’s memory to clear his name.
“Debbie Grigs was a dedicated mother, whose love for three children was never in doubt, and it is out of comprehension that she must have gone out on them anytime,” she said.
“Her husband Andrew has known this ever since she first reported her to disappear, at the point at which she had already brutally murdered Debbie and hidden her body. Then she continued to lie and manipulate them even after searching for her remains, which were eventually and funny stories that are incomplete to the Debbi and harm to everyone who are hurting.
“The fact is that he asked a family member to dig his remains, showing that he is a callus and selfish person who is not very little for consideration of the person such as an intensive disastrous impact of an act on the person.
“Andrew Grigus is already serving a life imprisonment for Debbie’s murder, but our investigation into these further crimes was more than achieving the result of another positive court.
“This was about acquiring justice to Debbie and her family and friends, and to ensure that the general public knows that the length of the Grigs was ready to go to avoid the results of her disgusting tasks.”
KT Samvez from Crown Prosecution Service said that the case was “one of the worst examples” of failing the curriculum of justice.
He said, “Andrew Gregs, while lying to all the people around him for decades, claimed that Debbie had nothing to do with him,” he said.
“Once convicted for her murder, in a desperate attempt to prove her innocence, she tried to manipulate her son in the most frightening way.
“Grigs intentionally failed to reveal the location of Debbie’s body, adding infinite in the crisis of his family and friends.”
He said: “None of us can imagine the effect that the works of Grigs have done on all the people around him.
“Now, after more than 25 years of Debbie’s first disappearance, we hope that his family and friends can now finally put this chapter of their life behind them, knowing that Andrew Grigs has been kept for the killing of Debbie completely, but also for the lies he had told in the period of continuous intervention.”
