Good riddance Huntley

[Bertiebiscuit]

So the child murderer Ian Huntley is dead, finally. Pity it took so long, i hope he died in pain and terror, and a medal to whoever did it. Karma sometimes works.

His death means absolutely nothing to me. Justice was served at his trial and there's no need for him to be mentioned again.

I agree with you entirely. Hopefully the families of Jessica and Holly can now find real closure.

A medal to who did it? How shockingly disrespectful to his victims and their families.

Win/Win really. Huntleys dead and his murderer who is just as bad will have another 20+ years added to his sentence, hopefully meaning he will never be released.

RIP Holly and Jessica.

You mean the man who raped and murdered a heavily pregnant women and murdered two other?
He deserves a medal does he?

He's already serving a full life sentence.

His killer will never be released anyway, he’s on a whole life term. It makes no difference to him.

As for Huntley, yes it’s good that he’s dead but I feel for families of both his victims and the victims of his killer who are having it all dredged up again. Hopefully the media attention will die down soon and we won’t be hearing about Huntley again.

IMO anyone who is celebrating a triple murderer and rapist is as depraved as he is.

Clearly has 0 empathy for his victims, too caught up in frothing over Huntley’s death to actually consider what they’re saying and who they’re celebrating.

So yeah. If you think a triple murderer and rapist deserves a medal then you’re no better than a triple murderer and rapist.

He’s already serving a whole life order.

So instead of things being worse for him he’s now being celebrated by thicko’s all over the internet.

I read somewhere that someone had even started a gofundme for him, and while I don’t know whether that’s true I’m entirely sure that it’s possible, likely even.

And now he’ll probably have women writing to him in jail, fawning over him, wanting to marry him and whatever else these stupid women do with these depraved killers.

So for him it’s definitely been a case of win-win. He’s a hero now.

Hope those saying he deserves a medal are proud of themselves.

Hope none of them know any victims of rape.

Now watch all our taxes go into an investigation and compensation..

Should have gone to the gallows in 2003.
Apparently Wayne Couzens is now scared to come out of his cell.
Perhaps these people are now feeling fear like their victims did.

He was never going to be released anyway.

@plantseeds I’m so sorry for the loss of your friend- that’s horrendous. You’re right that the press pushes some stories more than others. I’m sorry your friend’s awful death passed by unremarked- it’s very wrong. I hope her killer received justice.

Live by the sword, die by the sword.

He made that choice as soon as he committed those terrible murders.

The man who did it killed a woman and her son, then raped and murdered a pregnant woman. So no, he shouldn't be getting a fucking medal.

Exactly. Anyone spouting this medal/pint/hero shit should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves and think of his poor victims' families.

Someone who killed three people (four if you count the baby one of the women he murdered was carrying, she was also raped before he strangled her to death) doesn't deserve anything.

I am so sorry about your friend. I agree that her being pregnant makes it worse, and that she was only 15.

Exactly.

I do not celebrate his death but i am glad that he is no longer on this planet and i hope the families of those precious girls possibly get some kind of relief knowing the same .
I hope the monster who killed Sarah is not far behind.

Why rely on literal criminals to mete out justice when you could have just hanged him years ago.

I’ll never understand the reluctance of Western governments on this subject. They feel more for violent criminals than for victims.

Why didn’t you just kill Couzens? We all know he did it. You pay for his roof and three squares.

Im not actually sure on this one. Saves the public purse a fortune. However, he's at peace, no longer suffering ... maybe Holly and Jessica's parents feel short changed ... but maybe not, perhaps it gives them closure.

I hope the families of Jessica & Holly feel like justice has been served. I’m glad the monster is dead, what he did was horrific.

I was involved in the original investigation and the Bichard Inquiry. Clearly I feel no sorrow for his death. I hope he suffered, but doubt he knew much about it.

However, we don't really know how the families feel. They may believe that any tiny amount of control over the situation they had has been ripped away from them. They may have preferred that he'd been forced to rot without freedom until death from old age or a long, drawn out disease. They may feel that he's been given the easy way out that he wanted. I don't think we should automatically assume that this is the outcome that the families would have wanted or will take any comfort from. And imagine all that pain and anguish being stirred up again by having him on all the front pages again.

As for anyone cheerleading his murderer. This was a triple murderer and rapist. One of his victims was pregnant when he raped and murdered her. No moral high ground whatsoever.

Completely agree.

i won't lose any sleep over Huntley being dead, but it does sicken me seeing posts trying to make a hero of his murderer. He isn't a hero - he's a vicious murderer himself. The family of his victims must be in despair at seeing him described as a hero and should get a medal.
