The footage shows Wheatley,31, of Queen Bee Court, Hatfield, answering “no comment” to a series of questions.

At one point he was asked: “Describe it to me, tell me when, tell me where, tell me how you did it.”

But Wheatley stonewalled the question.

Wheatley was jailed for life at St Albans Crown Court earlier today (Friday) for the murder of his daughter Alexa-Marie Quinn at his home on March 12 last year.
