Brian Laundrie admitted to killing his girlfriend Gabby Petito in a notebook left in the Florida swamp where he committed suicide, but Laundrie insisted it was an act of “pity,” according to a report Friday.
“I ended his life,” he proclaims in the note, which was recovered by the FBI in October, according to Fox News.
“I thought it was mercy, which is what she wanted, but now I see all the mistakes I made. I panicked. I was in shock. “
Laundrie claimed she wanted to get Petito, who she has been said to be engaged to, out of her misery after she fell and hurt herself in the Wyoming desert, but said she regretted it immediately after killing her.
“From the moment I decided, I took out her pain, I knew I couldn’t go on without her,” she wrote.
Petito, a 22-year-old from Long Island, disappeared on a road trip with Laundrie and was found strangled to death in a camp near Grand Tetons on 19 September.
Laundrie disappeared after his death, sparking a national hunt for the alleged killer.

Laundrie, who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head at Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park near Sarasota, apologized and asked authorities to go quietly with his family to the note.
“Please don’t make life harder for my family,” he wrote in the notebook. “They lost a son and a daughter. The most wonderful girl in the world. Gabby, I’m sorry.” He added: “I’m sorry for my family. This is also a shock to them [as] a terrible pain. “
