Killer claims to be ill

[Galatine]

According to the BBC Axel Rudakubana is shouting in court that he is ill.
AIBU to say I couldn’t give a shit!

The judge has done a great job.

Well, think about it, if he'd said I'm sooo sorry, should he have got a lighter sentence? Because that would be the flip side of that.
He should get the maximum tariff allowable for the crime committed.

I think he's done consecutive sentences rather than to be served at the same time, which often doesn't happen. Well done Judge. Let's hope it's watertight for the inevitable appeal.

Wow - that's actually a decent length of time

The presence of remorse is mitigating but the absence of remorse isn’t aggravating. So someone overcome with remorse and regret will have that factored into their sentence, otherwise the normal starting points apply

Life with the best part of 52 years before he can apply for parole. Good! Unlikely he'll ever get out. Sadly we now have to pay for it ☹️

I appreciate the judge. He did a great job

No doubt he’ll get a lot of shit thrown his way, but given you can’t give a WLO to an under 18 his hands were tied. With any luck the parole board won’t authorise his release in 51 years.

My DD is 18 now but I can't help remember that when she was the same age as these little girls she would go to dance clubs with her friends and choir. They're so daft and sweet at that age, I actually miss my DD being that little.

My heart actually breaks for them all.

If its true that fellow inmates often dish out their own justice I hope this monster's time in prison is hard and lonely

I think she's referring to the Southport killer being obsessed with white genocide. So nothing to do with the Moroccan child in Germany.

Can’t stop other prisoners from attacking other prisoners if they truly want to.
I honestly don’t feel the slightest bit terrible when I hear of child killers getting shanked or attacked.

Of course it's about male violence against women and girls.

A male killer slaughtered 3 female children. It's the very definition of male violence against us.

What a brilliant judge. Thank god for people like him.

With the concurrent sentences, I’m wondering what the purpose of that is? If he is serving 52 years for the key offence of murdering 3 children, what difference does the 18 years for attempted murder of the adults? As it doesn’t actually make a difference to the time spent in jail?

Is it the act of justice for the victims, a formality or does it make a difference when determining his incarceration circumstances?

I don't care. I'm more than happy to pay for this out of my taxes!!!

Sorry, tagged wrong person!

He won't be in there very long before he start walking in a funny way....

52 years in prison and will hopefully never be released. Good sentencing given the circumstances.

May all those suffering in grief and recovery get the help they deserve and need.

I don't know but I can't image they will allow him to starve himself to death.

Sometimes other prisoners mete out their own brand of justice. Child killers are especially despised in prisons.

@TinklySnail did you miss the bit where i said if he was attacked in prison he would be given compensation paid out of tax payer money.
He will be totally segregated at all times for this and many other reasons.

Hats off to the judge. Whilst there will never be enough justice for what he did to those little girls, at least this is a start.

Good luck buddy, and I mean that in the most sarcastic sense ever you evil piece of scum.

I'm sure we're all happy to pay a bit more tax for this. I certainly am!!

Me too @JessiesJ99
He will wholly deserve any violence that comes his way.
