A prison has been blasted for taking 50 minutes to call in medics after two brutal inmates strangled a child killer in his cell.

The pair of lags, who were already serving life sentences for murder, kidnapped and throttled Subhan Anwar on Valentines Day last year.

“Throttled” by a pair of “lags.”

If he’s dead it doesn’t matter how long it takes to cart the body away.

Jailhouse justice at its best. There is honor among thieves.

sounds like prison justice. Child killers are the most despised by other prisoners. The prison officials prolly said take your time the subject is a child killer!

Somehow I don’t feel any sympathy for the victim and I think he got off light.

There should be an outrage over the outrage. The child killer should have been taken to the public square and put a swift bullet to the back of the head, after a prompt trial, not given some cushy recreational center retirement.

It makes me think of the part in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance where Liberty has just been shot. The town physician asks for a bottle of whiskey. Someone hands him a bottle, he takes a swig, kicks the body over, and says “dead”.

So Prince Charming here tortured and murdered a little girl “for something to do”. Well, fair’s fair. Dying is “something to do”.
