My guess is that it was random in regards to the victims themselves, but there is precedent for that particular scenario. I remember that mass stabbing in Thailand a couple years ago where the perpetrator intended to attack his child, but massacred other kids in a daycare center when his child wasn’t there.I wonder if this was completely random or if the man knew/was related to a child there?
I agree, violent crime is at an all-time high in the UK yet the government are talking of releasing thousands of prisoners and shutting down prisons. Maybe they should build some more instead and hand out stiffer sentences - there is no deterrent to criminals in this country anymore, our rehabilitation system is just not working at all.These past 3 weeks of summer have been blighted with male violence in the U.K.

They're not going to let out serious violent offenders early though. They are not part of the scheme. I agree some sentences for violent crimes should definitely be longer though.I agree, violent crime is at an all-time high in the UK yet the government are talking of releasing thousands of prisoners and shutting down prisons.
