UK - Alesha MacPhail, 6, raped & murdered, Ardbeg, Isle of Bute, Scotland, 2 Jul 2018 -*arrest* #6

I do find it staggering that he has no mental disorder tbh, like wtf. None of this is ‘normal’ behaviour

Psychopathy isn't a mental health illness.

Psychopaths cannot be cured — here's why

Thank the lord he did not get away with Alesha's murder because there would have been another victim. I think he truly enjoyed, and still enjoys, what he did. I do not think going to prison bothers him or intimidates him.

I am glad to have learned how Alesha was removed from her bedroom and home, though I am not sure I would/can believe anything he says.

I am sad for the Isle of Bute that this killer left such a dark mark on what appears to be a lovely, lovely place and community. I think it will be many, many, many years before the name Aaron Thomas Campbell can be forgotten. I pray Alesha can rest in peace and that all those who loved her and have been scarred by what happened can eventually heal and find some peace.

Except for all the damn paedophiles!

He will continue to try and manipulate those around him in the prison service. It won’t be the last we hear about him, he will make sure there are stories out there. He’d Cut himself with a razor and blame joe bloggs for attention.

Can we have a statement from @Eezer Goode please? Love to know his thoughts at the moment? One big conspiracy and set up eh?

He popped in with a comment yesterday out of nowhere. I'm sure he has something to say.

 

[Mrs Marple]

It's almost as if he is aware of what he's done but he's brazing it out. When the judge said that there was no mental health issues does that take into concern behavioural issues? Surely he has that. Psychopathy is a behavioural issue.
I presume that's what the long years of work will focus on.

I hope that Georgina and the family have all the resources available to them and that at some point, it will help.

I think they consider mental health issues for sentencing only. Like some people go straight to the secure unit? But not him. There was no illness that could have made him delusional on that night. He knew what he intended to do and he was in control.

An apology to TM , RM and all of Aleshas family for assuming they were somewhat involved would be a start.

 

[Yenriac]

He should be casterated, now. JMO

It's a lobotomy he needs.

Missed the livestream and I can't get it to replay but I caught the last minute.

Can anyone set out for me why he went in twice, and how the abduction happened (not the part after he left with her).

TIA

He went in first for drugs then decided to go back and kill. There is no reason or logic to his actions other than those of an opportunistic psychopath.

Apparently he went in intent on stealing cannabis armed with a knife then left and discarded the knife. He then entered the property again and seen Alesha and knew there and then that this was an opportunity for him. I’m not sure if the first time around he seen Alesha, left then cane back for her. I don’t know if this was clear or maybe I missed it.

Sorry Tortoise l can't bring myself to address the second part of your question.

I know it's probably against protocol but I'd have like to have heard the defence counsel apologizing to Toni for what he put her through in court and the ramifications of it.

I think he seen Alesha, left and came back.

I was just thinking about how he managed to fool people around him,we are all waiting for something to happen to him in prison but the truth is that he will probably be able to charm and manipulate his way to the top of the food chain and end up running the place

Yes, you are right, me too.

Wasnt clear to me either. I missed the line about he went into her bedroom.
So now, as I understand it
First time he goes in with the knife, realises he doesn't need it, goes out of the house and throws the knife away
( hence why it was found on beach so close to the home )

Then goes back into the house and this time goes into Alesha's bedroom

Don’t, I thought the same but I’m trying not to.

Which second part? How he managed to get Alesha out?
