I heard it on the news and though he had been caught for one murder and admitted two more
But no. He killed his first wife in 1981 and served time for manslaughter.
Second wife was killed in 1993 and again he served time for manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
He killed his latest partner, Angela, in 2016 and has finally been convicted of murder.

Why was nothing done to protect women from this monster? It says he was stalking her. Why wasn't she protected from him?

I'm so distressed by this. Men are up in arms about "false accusations ruining lives" and meanwhile men like this are out there killing women.

It's almost unbelievable that he was repeatedly let out despite the risk he poses to women.

I really think they need to remove the word 'Domestic' from the police service's vocabulary. It just isn't taken seriously at all which is fucking shit.

Just a domestic, innit? Not like a real murder of say, a man, but just his partner and everyone knows that women drive men to kill them. And these women chose to be be with him, even though he had killed before, so they almost deserve it. (All this according to the knowers of all the things on Twitter, but I think it's a fair précis of common beliefs about domestic killers)

I read that earlier, cant believe he was let out the first time after doing it. Angry
