'The life prison sentence imposed on British child rapist Richard Huckle was criticised on Tuesday as too light in Malaysia, where he sexually abused scores of children and babies.'

'"191 child victims, 22 Malaysians, 20,000 indecent images, 22 life sentences but… this monster could be out in 24 years," read a lengthy headline in leading Malaysian daily The Star.'

'The New Straits Times said "A thousand years is not enough", echoing the cry from a woman in the public gallery as Huckle was led out of court.'

Well, as they didn't bring charges in every case, maybe once he's served his UK sentence the Malaysians can extradite him and charge him there.

We can only hope. They have a long time to build a case.

The sun just came out, and the air is crisp and clean. I suppose I shall have some tea and ponder all the things for which I am thankful on this beautiful Thanksgiving Day in Canada.

@Bohemian - you seen this, Bo? He's dead.

Thanks Cags. I can’t say I’m sorry.

Thanks Cags. I can’t say I’m sorry.

I can't imagine there will be many mourning him, not even his family by all accounts. Some people are just "wrong" full stop.

Oh well. Justice comes disguised sometimes.

Small comfort to his victims, perhaps. They are the only ones that matter.

They only arrested someone today, after 3 months?

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer person, kudos to the man who finished him off, not a grim enough death in my book!

Grim. It'll be interesting to find out who killed him, and what that person is in jail for.

Knowing Huckle is dead must be a relief for his victims.

Of course the abusers of children are sick and twisted individuals but it is still interesting how other criminals get often get very angry about being in prison with them.

That's why I'm interested to know what the 29 year old is inside for. Child abuse is the biggest no-no amongst inmates, so killing the country's most prolific paedophile means trophy points.
