The perp in question.
Not a “man jailed”. An animal jailed that should be exterminated
Is this a member of the “religion of peace”?
Mussie?
England really needs to reconsider hanging.
Especially for those of a certain religious persuasion.
Diversity is Great Britain's strength.
It was not a random attack. He probably thought that the body movements required to hula a hoop were suggestive of sex and he punished her for it. Calling it a random attack minimizes the severity of the crime.
I sure hope he left lots of kids behind. He really contributed to society. /s
“Deividas Skebas, 26, stabbed Lilia Valutyte...Mr Justice Akhlaq Choudhury...Her mother, Lina Savicke...”
Schizophrenia.
The question would be what kind of prior history he had manifested.
There are many interesting, and tricky cases. I don't know the literature, but a great example is the case of William Chester Minor (the subject of a very engaging book, The Surgeon of Crowthorne, and movie, The Professor and the Madman.) Minor was superbly educated, a graduate of the Yale Medical School back when medical care was moving from apprenticeships to universities, a Union Army surgeon in the Civil War ... and schizophrenic. The development and progression of the condition is a matter of some speculation. He stayed in the Army after the Civil War, but the Army came to realize that there was something wrong with him. He received the best medical and psychiatric care Uncle Sam could provide and was even confined to St. Elizabeth's Hospital in DC. The Army concluded that there was nothing that could be done for him.
To this point, however, Minor had not committed any acts of violence (that we know of) and did not seem to be a threat. The Army deemed him unfit for duty, gave him a pension, and discharged him. He drifted to London where he had a schizophrenic break and committed a completely unprovoked murder.
The British courts had reached the point at which they could recognize that he was mad as a hatter and therefore not guilty by reason of insanity. Rather than hang him, the courts sentenced him to life in Broadmoor Hospital, a lunatic asylum. There he received state of the art care -- witch doctor and voodoo stuff by our standards -- but was deemed not dangerous and was given comfortable quarters. Which is a good thing, because he became perhaps the most celebrated of the early volunteer word sleuths who contributed mightily to the development of the Oxford English Dictionary.
I doubt that this guy's story is anywhere near as interesting. The question is whether he should have been institutionalized. 20/20 hindsight says yes, but ....
The doctor who prescribed the psych drugs he was on should go to jail with him.
If you’re smart enough to know how stupid you are, you’re not very stupid
I’d grab a knife and go after that microchip.
Andrew Campbell-Tiech KC, representing Skebas, told the court on Wednesday that his client had been "subject to a serious and dangerous condition for many years".\
If he had been "subject to a serious and dangerous condition for many years, why was he walking the streets?
The perp in question.
WTF is life with a minimum 25 years? How about life period or life with a minimum 500 years.
This POS should be castrated, all limbs removed and placed in a cell with a bowl of rice and bottled water with a cap on it 10’ away.
Are there any ENGLISH people left in England?
It’s time to stamp out anti-Wham-O-ism once and for all ...
Sentenced to a minimum of 25 years.
I’m baffled by the notion that dangerous criminally insane murderers whould be given special treatment. The child was murdered. The punishment for murder should be death, sure and swift upon proof of whodunit. Whether or not nuts perceive their crimes as wrong has nothing to do with it — the victims are still dead, and more victims are endangered.
