24 hours in police custody.

What a horrible man!

Which one are you watching?

The one on Ch4 now. Historical abuse. His attitude is so arrogant. Doesn't care about comforting his wife.

Thanks for the heads-up. I will catch up with this on the +1.

Oh ok it's a repeat
Thought I'd missed one there

And only 40
Minutes long. I've not seen this one before.

I don't remember the description but it says it's season 5 so it would have been a long time ago
I can't remember them all

Oh I got excited there and thought there was a new one!

There was a new one a month ago, mind

Just saw latest one with the stalker. Thought it was really well presented. Did anyone else see it? Actually was surprised at the length of the sentence. And wondered if all our mental health issues in the country would lead to more examples of this.

Really good, but utterly disturbing.

He seems like an exceptionally dangerous man, and his comments towards the end made me shudder.

It's good that whoever has seen it will now know to steer clear when he's out, but there'll always be vulnerable women to pray on.

I'd put money on the fact he will at some point serious hurt or kill a partner.

He was completely delusional.
His grandiosity, self-pity and pathetic personal situation reminded me of quite a few of the men I support at work :(

it was EURGH. and i'm glad that people have seen that man and what he is.
and it's so disturbing that he did all of that. i wonder what his mother thinks of him.

Releasing because the threats haven't been acted on....YET! FFS when will they learn? How many times have women mean murdered by partners who have been allowed to carry on. And the piss poor sentence. But it's ok, Megan is protected by an indefinate stalking protection order so like, she'll be fine right?

@DancingTurtle oh but he's had a terrible life, disowned his mother (her loss, natch) etc. What a crock of shite. Always the same. Always someone else's fault. All the pish he was spouting about life is sent to test you etc. Urgh.

Just watched this. What a dangerous, delusional young man, with some serious MH issues. I guess he will only serve half his time (l20-odd months) and then that poor woman will always be looking over her shoulder. I bet he's already messaging someone from inside...

We've just watched the stalker one, what a vile individual.

Not watched the whole programme yet. But it struck me that he's no better father to his son, than his mother was to him. Going on about how his son is his world etc, but then was upset that he couldn't collect him, as he hasn't seen him for six weeks. 🤔

That bit made me laugh. Convenient that it was today he was picking up his little ‘un. 🙄🙄. He must think he pulls the wool over everyone’s eyes he so smart.

Watching the rest of it now. What an absolutely vile specimen he is.

I don't understand now he thought he would get away with it.

Bit disappointed though how the producers tried to make out Megan had been killed by not showing her until the end.

Plus naming it "Murder Messages."

I didn't think she'd been killed

I thought she had for the first few minutes.

It definitely deliberately gave the impression she had been murdered. There was even a cliffhanger teaser before one of the ad breaks when her mother rang the police to report not being able to contact her - then after the break it wasn't even mentioned. Very manipulative, and the program didn't even need fake drama as it was shocking enough as it was!

He was a very scary, dangerous man and I don't feel he will ever change. He will always be a danger to women. I hope the mother of his son keeps the boy far away from him.

I think it was done to highlight the fear and how intense it becomes for friends and families under the continued threat. It is a possible outcome and they all know that and I imagine delays in responding to messages means more sinister and concerning fear.

I watched this the other night and haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. The audacity and irony of him saying that women are the problem.

He is a terrifying menace, who will be prolific in contacting poor, unsuspecting women when he is released.
