Lady Grendel 139 Posted November 14, 2014 There is also Peter Tobin, currently serving life sentences for the murders of Angelika Kluk and Vicky Hamilton. He went on trial again in June for the murder of Dinah McNicol, the trial was stopped as he took ill and needed surgery. He has a habit of being taken into hospital during his trials, so I'm not sure how ill he actually is. Convicted, life will mean life. I doubt he'll last long, one way or another. Life will also mean some more intrusion by the police, who have this nagging feeling that the largely unknown periods of his life in the late seventies and the unexplained vanishing of a few young ladies at the time may be linked. That'll do nowt for his health either. Not just the 1970's but the 1960's too. He's in the frame for the Bible John series of murders in 1968/69, possibly Glasgow's most famous unsolved murder cases. I certainly can remember knowing about Bible John as far back as 1972/3 when I was 5 . He was the bogeyman to us kids and was often mentioned in the school playground, quite understandable as the last murder he committed was about a mile away from where I grew up. Should Tobin manage to get murdered in prison next Friday he'll score me 19 points in the DDP, catapulting me into the top 100, unlikely I know, but perhaps I should be sending Xmas presents to the other inmates in HMP Peterhead..... Scotland seems to have produced a few of the UK's worst serial killers - Peter Manuel, Ian Brady, Dennis Nilsen, Robert Black and now Peter Tobin, of whom only Peter Manuel is dead, having been hanged in HMP Barlinnie in 1958. Another possibility is Angus Robertson Sinclair, a suspected serial killer who has only been convicted of 2 murders; police are convinced he has committed many more. There was an interesting, if a bit sensationalised, documentary on BBC2 last week about him. He is due for parole in 2016 and the powers that be do not want him released as everything points to the certainty of him re-offending. They are desperately trying to find a way to retry him for the notorious World's End murder case - his original trial for that collapsed on a technicality. He is the reason for the current review of Scotland's Double Jeopardy legislation. If this fails, he may well find himself transferred back into the general prison population as his parole date nears. He's been convicted of 11 child sex assaults and has admitted that he has committed many more, possibly hundreds, this will hardly make him popular among the 'hard men' in the Bar-L or Saughton and he may find himself the victim of a 'Jeffrey Dahmer style' accident. Mr. Sinclair is finally on trial for the 'Worlds End' murders. http://www.bbc.co.uk...t-fife-30039341 Mr. Sinclair's defence http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-30024398 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

En Passant 3,741 Posted November 14, 2014 In the sacred words of bananarama, he is guilty, guilty as a cunt can be. Had to look that up on you tube, very very vague recollection of it. Like for the pun, do NOT like for hearing that again, ever. Wish my recollection were as vague as before I looked it up. Oh well, these things happen.

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted January 3, 2015 Dictator Efraín Ríos Montt, 86, and baby killer Kermit Gosnell, 72, sentenced to 80 years and life respectively this week. At least Montt has a release date. Something to cling on to. Scratch that! Montt spent just a day in prison, as his sentence has been overturned by the constitutional court. He's now in a military hospital awaiting retrial. http://www.guardian....-case-collapses Efraín Ríos Montt's genocide trial is about to resume. His lawyer has asked the court if Ríos Montt could be absent due to bad health. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted January 3, 2015 Belgian child murderer Frank van den Bleeken, a pick for at least two DDP teams, is scheduled to undergo euthanasia on the 11th of January. Oh dear, I completely missed that. Would have been a nice addition to my theme team. Interestingly, the last sentence of that article says: "Sinds Van den Bleeken zijn euthanasie via rechterlijke weg afgedwongen kreeg, volgden al minstens 15 geïnterneerden zijn voorbeeld.", which translates to: "After Van den Bleeken got legal affirmation of his euthanasia at least 15 inmates followed his example." regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It'll be a Deathrace first, I can note it in the diary and give DDT 354 points once it's confirmed, since he's already joint top on 726 points after two days I'd say he'll be enjoying this month!
