HAYDOCK, U.K. – Managers worldwide have heard all kinds of excuses when employees don’t show up for work, but one employer received a most upsetting message when checking up on his colleague, Ian Robertson.

“Is everything OK mate? Alex said that you wasn’t in work today because of a family emergency?” messaged employer Anthony Millard on WhatsApp.

Robertson’s response?

“If you want the truth mate, I murdered someone in my house last night so now need to fix it.”

He then sent his employer a photo of his victim, Robert Sempey.

Robertson was later sentenced to 21 years in jail, while his girlfriend was jailed for more than two years for helping to move the corpse.
