Grimson detailed the killing out to officers whilst being interviewed in December 1999. He admitted to getting a thrill from killing Wright. He said the thrill came from the power he had over the younger man and that the killing had no sexual element to it; however, he did admit that the feeling was "better than an orgasm".

Grimson joined the Royal Navy in 1978 and by the time of his conviction for murder, he was the rank of Petty Officer (PO). He had served aboard HMS Illustrious and was a trainer in fire fighting techniques whilst based at HMNB Portsmouth.
