Copied from here, and from seeing it via [livejournal.com profile] d_floorlandmine:

"Pamela Wright, the partner of Steve (recently convicted of murdering five prostitutes in Ipswich) was interviewed on Sky News last Sunday, to give her side of the story. Pamela was oblivious to Steve’s actions, or even that he visited prostitutes, and it goes without saying that this is a pretty nightmarish time for her. She was brave, but visibly distressed.

"And do you know what Kay Burley asked her? She asked:

"Do you think if you’d had a better sex life, he wouldn’t have done this?"

"No, seriously, she did. You won’t believe me (I didn’t believe it) so you can watch a three minute clip of the interview here. It’s about halfway. I almost fell off my chair. Apparently women are now obligated to put out on demand, lest their partner get fed up and turn into a serial killer.

"Liveblogger Debi Linton is so pissed off she’s started off an internet petition to get Kay Burley sacked. Sign it, why don’t you?"

Consider my flabber well and truly ghasted.

Edited to add: Do not watch the video unless you are prepared to get cross:

"5 murders in 6 weeks, what changes did you notice in him, there must have been some changes during those 6 weeks?" - So she should have noticed? And stopped him?

"He blamed his need to visit prostitutes on the lack of a sex life at home, how do you feel about that?" - Why validate his warped thoughts by getting her to comment on them?

Well - I can see that she was following her own train of logic in those questions but - omg!
