Marelle Sturrock

[MrsMuddle]

I’m struggling to come to terms with this awful news. I knew Marelle and David through friends, although I only met them a few times. Those poor children she taught will be scared and traumatised. I know the police narrative, but I just can’t believe it.

No wait, it’s absolutely not fair to blame his family or say you hope they suffer. That’s disgusting.

Utterly disgusted at anyone expressing sympathy for him or his family, y is irrelevant what they think or are going through and I hope they suffer

In return I'm utterly disgusted at anyone wishing ill on his poor family. They're victims too. They've lost their daughter in law & grandson & have to live with the knowledge their son killed them. They've also lost their son

I feel so sorry for them too

@LiliLil
No you wait, if people who hardly knew him thought that he was bad, then his family must have had a sense of it too. And I don't care what you think either way.

@Kinneddar
You can stay as utterly disgusted as you like, we won't agree on this and that's fine. I think it's disgraceful that you would even slightly care about the affect of his death on anyone that was connected to him.

Oh you all knew he was bad before you did this did you? So who did you report his “badness” to? Who did you go to with your concerns? Fucking nobody, you just sat gossiping no doubt.

You really think his family had any idea he was capable of this? So Marelle must be to blame too then using your stupid logic? She knew him, lived with him, she must have seen it coming?

You are fucking despicable and I won’t waste any more time reading your stupid comments. Show some fucking respect.

@LiliLil
You obviously didn't read my previous comment, it is my husband who knew of him, not me. And you are obviously invested in this and also have zero comprehension of how domestic violence escalates, so I will back off. But the fact that Police Scotland are being investigated hints to the fact that there were previous concerns, and no, I will not show any fucking respect to him or any of his family.

We can agree to disagree. That's fine, because I still feel sorry for his family

I’m a trainee social worker and worked for a domestic abuse charity for many, many years. Don’t patronise me.

So who did your husband report his concerns to? Nobody? He knew he was “bad” why didn’t he do anything?

Not invested at all, just find your comments disgusting. Your logic is flawed, his family must have known because they knew him, so what about Marelle and her family? Do your comments apply to them? No I didn’t think so. That poor woman’s own family haven’t condemned his family, so how dare you? ONE person murdered her, he’s the only one who doesn’t deserve any sympathy.

Sit down, you’ve made yourself look stupid and heartless all in one thread.

@Kinneddar
Totally fair enough, exactly, we can agree to disagree. I'm genuinely so so worn out from this continually happening that I realise I can be completely abrasive when trying to discuss.

What a disgusting, cowardly man. The truth about will come out now, despite some people defending him & saying how lovely he was 🙄

@LiliLil
I'm not patronising you, I will attempt to address your points but honestly I'm so sad and scunnered that I would rather not...anyway, no concerns would have been reported as it's the age old issue isn't it, after horrendous crimes people will say "oh there was always something off about them". But nothing has9 ever actually been voiced. I do think your comment of "that poor woman" is in bad taste though, her name was Marelle and with your background in domestic abuse issues, I would have imagined you would have known that it's important to give a name and identity to victims. I'll take your advice and sit down now.

I’d already named her in my post, but I take your point.

I think this situation just causes heightened emotions and rightly so, we’re all angry, hurt, heartbroken over this. I apologise for being so defensive.

Sorry, @DZbornak I meant to tag you in the above.

@LiliLil
Thanks so much but you genuinely have nothing to apologise for, I completely understand where you are coming from. And as I said previously I can come across as so abrasive when discussing situations like this. I just lose all sense of rationality as it is quite close to home and I acknowledge that my words can be beyond harsh when trying to communicate. Thanks again and all the best.

It was nice to see Marelles parents mention her son by name, Jayden. He deserves his name not just to be referred to as her unborn baby

Oh my goodness autocorrect!

Of course I meant Marelle and Jayden, I’m sorry.

We really need an edit button.
