I wonder how badly injured he is. Alongside the family annihilators who kill themselves too and those who never claimed any suicidal intent, multiple men who are successful in killing others but whose courage seems to fail them when it comes to the final step of taking their own life and they...

Pitchfork’s case is a good example of why whole life sentences ultimately save time, effort and resource in the criminal justice system, and crucially, the pain of the victims’ families for those cases where they are justified. No doubt a man who committed Pitchfork’s crime in the modern era...

I think a journalist out there needs to do a deep-dive on the very strange police comms on this case. What was the hesitation? Duffield’s job? The fact he was on TV? The lack of proper control of the narrative has created a strange vacuum of information such that when the police announced a...

I 100% agree that the posts with praise and tributes for Duffield were very strange. I think they may have resulted from the lack of public information about the case so that people thought it might have been something other than what it obviously was. I honestly think the police could have...

I realise the police need to complete their procedures but it sounds like they already have a good idea what’s happened. I wonder whether the tributes to the young man in this case are appropriate or ill-placed. I know what I am thinking and will hold my hands up if I have it the wrong way around.

The ex / current-gf stuff is highly confusing. I guess it will be cleared up in the next few days but sounds like the ex is deceased and the most recent gf alive, but honestly who knows at this point and the neighbours may be mixed up too.

I’m waiting to see what’s happened, as I see the “men’s mental health” comments but it wouldn’t be my go-to quote if the man in question was suspected of having committed murder rather than just taking his own life… perhaps just me.

This reporting is slightly confusing at this stage to me, I am not quite following tributes being paid before it’s entirely clear what’s happened and who might have done what to whom, but perhaps friends and family know the details already.

Zara’s death was likely preventable. A terrible story all round. We must raise standards in public service performance, if the issue is budget then the money must be found.

Not a surprise at all that they were convicted of these particular charges, I don’t see how they could have avoided them. I find it quite ridiculous that they didn’t plead guilty to the concealing the birth charge at least, could not have been more obvious.

Twenty year old Nasen Saadi from Croydon charged with the murder of Amie Gray and the attempted murder of the other woman who was injured: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0kk5018nq1o

I am often disappointed with the minimum terms for murders of women whether by their partners or by strangers, I want to therefore say in this case of a murder of a man that that is a very short minimum term in the modern era for what was accepted at court to be an entirely premeditated murder...

This is from the outside, a very puzzling case, it’s difficult to put the pieces together, but I hope this arrest is significant and things become clearer later on. It could be a random killing even with the Croydon / Bournemouth distance, I remember poor Sabina Nessa’s killer travelled from...

What a heartbreaking case. I have heard some total horror stories about nurseries. A small number of those who are meant to care for others seek out roles where they can torment and bully others, particularly those much weaker than them. I doubt Genevieve was the only child mistreated and note...

Having checked the law, I see that threats to kill is an “each way” offence and can be referred to the Crown Court. I also see that Masum was also accused of assault, so the court had reason to believe the threats were more than idle in this case, that Masum was dangerous, and in addition that...

Bail for a foreign national (therefore obvious flight risk) on a threats to kill (therefore extremely serious) charge is absolutely ridiculous. I’m sick of these pro-defendant, anti-public safety decisions. If judges don’t have the tools to lock up this type of defendant then the law has to...

I agree that the reason is very likely to be to keep the company active while proceedings are ongoing, this is not an ordinary case of late documents where you can write to CH and ask them to hold off a bit longer or file one thing to kick it down the road. Most likely the Registrar has...

What a scary case and how awful for the Baxters’ son and daughter. Although the crimes were calculated, and a whole life order is available for a double murder, I don’t believe D’Wit will get this for these particular crimes, based on recent sentencing trends and the way the murders played out...

Thanks for posting this. I’m not surprised at all as 25 years seemed light for a double murder with a gun even with a guilty plea, if we look at the guidelines, as I posted above. I hope the judgment is reported to explain what the Court of Appeal looked at. There are a couple of other recent...
