I have an awful sick feeling, given the number of people involved, this has something more than straight murder to do with it.
These things generally pass me by. Just another shocking news item. But for some reason, watching the video of her eating (breakfast?) brings me to tears. I've three Daughters so maybe hits home a bit. Such a tragic waste of life.
But yes, with so many involved looks like more to it than a murder.
Two arrested suspected of murder and FIVE for covering for them and assisting. WTF is the world coming to ?
The truth is- despite cases such as this- that it's not actually "coming to" anything. The murder rate in England and Wales has been declining for years, barring the odd spike where someone like Harold Shipman contributes 170 or so poor souls to the list.
What's changed is the media profile of such matters, and the fact that you're far more likely to hear the facts of a case, and to be able to read opinion, conjecture & speculation pertaining to it. People have, sadly, always been unlawfully killed, abused, assaulted and so on, and so it will always be.
So do I. This is utterly awful. What is this country coming too.
Poor kid, absolutely awful, did not one of these 5 others arrested not have the strength to say " I'm not going along with this."? I can understand the odd looney/fruit loop murdering from time to time but a group of 7 ? What have we become ?
