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!

I hate that people have to die before mentally ill people are taken serious. This person has had history with police/mental services even expelled from a school for taking a knife in and threatening to kill his school mates for being bullied. That’s not a normal response to being bullied and it was on more than one occasion. Now he has killed innocent children and their families would always be in pain regardless of what sentence he gets. You know what would have been better? Locking him up BEFORE he committed this harrowing crime. I don’t really care what kind of prison he ends up. He’s still a very sick person regardless and frankly would probably be even sicker if he gets released at some point. My sympathy lies with the family of his victims . I’m sure his family are also in pain but they knew their child was sick, and I have not read anywhere that they asked for him to be committed to any place for help .

I assume it was advertised locally and he saw it would be an easy target.

^this

Everyone has been failed here.

This fruitcake must have been dropped on his head or something. Totally nuts.

No mentally well person does this sort of thing, BUT he has capacity, knew what he was doing, and was very calculated.

I hope he does feel ill, still nothing compared to what those poor girls felt.

This 'boo hoo I feel ill...' is laughable, coward.

It's not often I wish death on another person. But this guy....

I think it's to do with karate lessons he potentially had that he knew the place existed.

It’s being reported that he said he was feeling ill because he hadn’t eaten for 10 days 🙄 And who’s fault is that, you pile of sh*t?

The real ‘illness’ he’s suffering from is cowardice.

What gets me is that his obsession with violence was RIGHT FUCKING THERE, and it wasn't enough for people to act. His parents could have done something, but no. Now three girls are dead.

His father is a black belt in karate for god's sake. Why on earth he didnt put his foot down and do something to stop his son is beyond me, and no I don't mean kick the shit out of him.

I usually don't wish harm on people, but I'm hoping that the inmates of whatever institution he ends up in, take a leaf out of the book of the guy who attacked Sara Shariff's father. And if this time the tuna can lid is rusty, even better.

Should be made to wear a ball gag or something so he can listen to every single one of those impact statements.
He's been taken out again. Stop pandering to him FFS 🤬

if he does go on hunger strike, can he be allowed to die?

Let's hope it's a long, and very painful illness...

No. I want him to suffer for every single second of his vile life.

No. They used a feeding tube on Brady.

Sadly not. He’s just feeling ever so poorly woorly because the loser hasn’t eaten for 10 days - ie he’s a liar and a coward.

Just in comparison to this cowardly piece of shit, it's worth remembering again how brave the teachers were, and the guy who came to help.

I have family who work in the prison service. His time inside will be hell. He deserves everything coming to him.

It's so bloody harrowing, I'm a mess. The poor families it must be hellish

What an absolutely evil coward

@BlazenWeights I think his dad stopped him from doing a killing the week earlier. I can't remember if they had asked for help. 3 referrals and assessments under Prevent. It's a matter of time before it happens again
Those poor parents and those innocent children . My heart goes out to them.

He's saying he's ill because he doesn't want to listen to the details of what he's done.

Would you like to be the one looking after him everyday?

"Stan Reiz KC, Rudakubana's lawyer, tells the court that those at prison were concerned about his wellbeing last night - and that the defendant hasn’t eaten or drunk for some time."

I'm sorry? What? 'concerned about his wellbeing'?!?! wtaf. How fucking insensitive to say that in court!!

It's not an easy life in a secure hospital. I used to work in a couple and we generally kept patients much longer than the sentence. I remember being involved in discharging one guy who was a rapist and would have served around 13yrs in prison. Because he came to us, he was in for 42 years and only released as he physically wasn't capable of reoffending again.
