Admitting to killing his sister and getting away with it

I could weep after reading this. But mostly I’m just angry. How in gods name has this happened? I know some don’t like DM links but the facts are that a man punched his sister in the head, killing her, and admitted doing so yet will face no charges. Sickening.

Seems the CPS were doubtful there was any chance of any sort of conviction, which renders charging him with anything a bit pointless.

That poor little girl and the other children who witnessed what happened to their sister at the hands of a grown man. Absolutely dreadful and no justice for her either

FranceIsWhereItsAt · 23/07/2024 22:34

Absolutely disgusting OP! Mind you, many years ago when I was a teen in school, I was punched full in the face, by an older boy, who was the size of a full grown man. I reported it to the teachers, and absolutely nothing was done. The conclusion I drew was that they were scared of him, but when the legal system fails us, like they have this beautiful young girl, it really beggars belief in my opinion.

itsmylife7 · 23/07/2024 22:35

I'd just read that story in disbelief.

The Police can't talk to the only two witnesses as the Father said no !

That poor little girl.

TomatoSandwiches · 23/07/2024 22:35

A disgusting miscarriage of justice and shame on his family for protecting him.
Those younger children will be scared for life having him at home.

Birdseyetrifle · 23/07/2024 22:39

Sadly it doesn’t surprise me that they are protecting the male in this situation rather than getting justice.

GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut · 23/07/2024 22:42

I don't understand this. He's confessed in his own text, and English law is that if you assault someone you 'take your victim as you find them' which means any medical condition etc that they may have is no defence. It's called the eggshell skull rule.

So the poor girl possibly having an 'underlying medical condition' is completely bloody irrelevant, it makes no sense for the CPS to say that's why they're not proceeding.

Mummyof287 · 23/07/2024 22:51

That poor little girl :( Sounds like alot of evidence there to me! And since when have police had to 'ask' to speak to children :-/ they should be immediately removed from the home and spoken to against the parents will after such an incident! Horrid intergenerational family abuse.

JulyMume · 23/07/2024 22:52

Awful. He’s obviously a danger to the other 2 kids but then why isn’t anything being done?

billyt · 23/07/2024 22:54

Despicable, cowardly family.

MiGatoEsBonitoTuGatoEsFeo · 23/07/2024 22:56

Everything about this case is unbelievable. I don't understand it!
Why can the parents prevent the key witnesses from being spoken to in a case like this? (Why the hell would they too). Why aren't they prosecuting anyway considering he's admitted it? Why would an "underlying condition" absolve him from any accountability, he still punched her hard enough to kill her? I just can't believe it. That poor poor little girl.

I'm also worried that if those parents and grandparents main concern is protecting him then are those two little children safe?

MiGatoEsBonitoTuGatoEsFeo · 23/07/2024 22:58

Also his face should be plastered all over the paper.

Saintmariesleuth · 23/07/2024 22:58

That poor young girl. Heartbreaking. Thank you for highlighting this case OP, I will continue to follow it.

Guavafish1 · 23/07/2024 23:00

Absolutely disgusting but it seems there missing facts from the case.

Well the man has to protect his adult son, so what if his child is dead she’s only a girl 🤬

I have just read this absolutely abhorrent. I initially thought it was another child that was the perpetrator. Not a grown adult.
That poor child.
Not a fan of that rag, but the family are basically covering it up is the gist of it.
Glad it's been reported.
He's the half brother so a step child to one of the parents. Why would a step parent help to cover up their own childs murder?
He has admitted it in text messages. Why are the police/cps not pursuing this??

Valhalla17 · 23/07/2024 23:03

She was in the bathroom screaming her head off apparently...well I wonder why?! No doubt he was regularly an abusive arsehole, potentially a perv too and she was trying to escape him. That's my take on the situation. He should be in jail for murder and her parents should be up in court too for assisting an offender! I can't believe what I've read.

saoirse31 · 23/07/2024 23:04

Awful. Disgusting that his family basically put his interests above their daughter whom he'd attacked. Abandoned her. Why was she seemingly less important to them than their son?

Yes, I assumed it was another child too. The fact an adult did this to a child adds another layer of distress. Poor little girl and I cannot imagine what the smaller children are going through either.

Her beauty (or not) is irrelevant.

EsmaCannonball · 23/07/2024 23:07

I read this story and did not understand the CPS's conclusion. There have been other cases where an underlying medical condition does not negate a manslaughter charge. From what I understand he was an adult man who punched his way into a bathroom and hit the little girl. It's a well-known domestic violence scenario. Female (in this case a child) locks herself in a bathroom to escape an angry man and he forces his way in. There is definitely more to the story and a complete failure of justice.

Whatmonth · 23/07/2024 23:17

And this bast**D lives his life with no consequences.
His parents who have protected him but not their daughter should be charged with obstructing justice.

Avatartar · 23/07/2024 23:26

If I knew how to start an on line petition to raise awareness of this case and ask for a review I would.
