excellent - best thing to happen.
Awful shame about his victims though.

Hopefully Ian Huntley will do it next !!

Excellent news for the families of his victims. At least now some do-gooder won't be able to set him free in 10 years.

All that's left now is to drag him around, and then chop him into 4 pieces... not quite as painful now he's brown bread though...

Well, least it will stop him getting out in 7 years "for good behaviour" or someone discovering that the wrong stamp was used on the paperwork and releasing him.

He was serving 15 life sentences - if he'd have been let out early something would have gone horribly, horribly, horribly wrong.

Also on BBC now as posted by another poster.

Cheers,
Nick.

It must be awful to die and be hated that much and people think your suicide is a good thing

I can understand why though.

It will seem like justice to the family's of the people he killed or was suspected of killing. He was suspected of killing 200 That's just crazy!

Question

Any news on what his prison life was like and what was his psycho-analysis?

I heard an interview on the radio with one of his victims daughters. She was quite angry that he was allowed to do this and should have spent the rest of his life suffering.

I can understand her anger, but realistically, the longer he is/was alive, the longer her anger and hatred would continue.

Surely now he has gone, the victims relatives can move on?

I'd be interested to hear two specific opinions on this:

1) from someone who would have liked to see him face the death penalty - how do you feel now he's topped himself?

2) from someone who wanted him to 'rot' in prison - do you feel 'cheated' now he's dead?

Exclamation

see there going to have an enquiry as to how this was allowed to happen.....................


WHAT THE ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!

given that it is no longer against the law to commit suicide,,why the interest

surley that would be a breach of his human rights, by preventing him from taking his life if he wished!!!!


personally i believe that when they arrive at the old hmp they should be given pills razors and rope with the understanding

that if they want to do it feel free.

it could save a fotune in the long run


flame suit nearby
